1-6-17I'm reviewing the N-Ferno 6823 Thermal Fleece headwear in Black. My main reason for purchasing, was to protect my face from the high winds when doing outdoor labor.I do a multitude of tasks outdoors. I'm a mobile mechanic that works on site out in the elements. As other technicians know, it's not a very active job. A lot of time under the hood or under a vehicle... same goes when working on equipment. That frigid air goes right through you, and if hit in the face, it takes your breath away. I also help a groundskeeper at an estate, which can be just as inactive, but even when you are active, your face can freeze!Well, I have tried other styles of face/neck warmers but have not quite found one I like too much. My preferred type was the bandana with velcro in back at the nape of my neck, but it twists too much or too suffocating when worn for long periods (I can't stand to have my mouth and nose covered too long). I'm the type person that needs fresh air, I can't even sleep with my head under the covers... my nose MUST be out. OK, so this covers how particular I am.I now think this is my preferred headgear. When wearing the full face, I find that their nose and mouth guards are MUCH more breathable than anything I've tried in the past but also warm enough that I can catch my breath. However, I more commonly wear it on my chin keeping my mouth and nose clear. When the wind kicks up, I just slide the chin over my nose. I love the fact the hat just stays put. It doesn't twist on me too much... the only issue is the top of my hat/head walks back on me due to the hoodie.I'm a girl, with shoulder blade length hair, so the trick to wearing this is putting my hair up in a low bun. If my hair is in a pony tail or down, it eventually walks to my mouth or cheeks, which is quite aggrevating in the middle of a job. I usually wear a bandana on my head underneath, whether I'm wearing this N-Ferno Hat or any other thermal hat, skully, etc. It just seems to help with keeping the hats from sliding all over the place.I'm giving the N-Ferno headgear 4 out of 5 stars due to the fact that it's colorfasting on my skin. So at the end of the day I need to scrub my face and neck... it's causing blackheads and tinited skin. I'm hoping that washing it with White Distilled Vinegar will help with that and 2 or 3 more washes. It's my only peeve with this thing, and if it doesn't improve, I'll be dropping another star. I can't have outerwear causing blackheads or any other skin issues. That's ridiculous.I did buy 2 of these, by the way. One for myself and one for my daughter. She's experiencing the colorfasting too, and she thoroughly agrees with everthing else I mentioned. She helps me with my work on sites or maintenance on the house & vehicles, so staying warm is huge, especially since she's new to all this.I bought this from the seller "Amazon LLC", which I feel is important to list this info. I've come across sellers with variances in their items, including knockoffs, even if listed as same brand. I'll post an update with a durability review.
