Welcome Pret Helmets as Official Sponsor of Pugski Test Team

you might actually find that Sirius mask is holding a lot of moisture. I would dump that in favor of a very thin buff (and I may be so bold to suggest a Pugski buff). they are plenty warm but won't retain all that moisture

With all the holes I'd be surprised if it held anything more than some sweat. I have a fleece balaclava and several other masks I've used over the years without the holes of my Sirius and I fog more & faster. I'm open to anything that will work though. Where do I find the Pugski?

YMMV but I've experimented with all different iterations of face masks, balaclava's and buffs. hands down the super thin (~2mm) work best. I have found that what you really only need is a material to buff the wind and snow. Anything else just retain moisture which will contribute towards fogging and a colder face.

@Philpug or @Tricia for Buff inventory update .

SOLD OUT!

well, since you missed out on the pug buff....

Here's my 2nd favorite. Smartwool's 150 wool. This breathes exceptionally well and retains warmth even if it gets damp.

I agree with this. I have never understood those who wear a full winter hat under their helmet (besides the fact that the helmet CLEARLY doesn't fit if you can squeeze a big fat hat under there!)
A thin under-helmet beanie is warm even on the coldest of days. And also not too hot on all but the warmest of days (at least, to me it's not.)

Hving worn the Lyric X and Luxe X, I can attest to the Luxe (Men's Shamen) is warmer. It also has open/closable vents. The Lyric is more of a free ride look with vents opening only with removal of the pad.

Is it oval or round? Apparently my head is oval....

I have an oval head and wear a Cirque X. Fits me well and is comfortable.
