Finally …. the wait is over! Having not received my order for the Psolar.BX Balaclava, I ordered the ColdAvenger® Pro and wore it on a 12 km run on this clear, cold morning having a temperature of -34 C and a wind-chill of -47 C. To round out my cold-weather head protection I wore a hat and aviator-style winter goggles. The product appears simple in its construction and to be good quality. The wrap around enclosure at the back of the neck and head has a generous Velcro closure that allows the wearer to adjust it to fit comfortably. Everyone’s face is unique in shape and the one-size-fits-all ventilation cup won’t fit everyone the same. [Overall] I found the ColdAvenger® Pro comfortable to wear....  It did keep my face warm and spared me the embarrassment of slurring my words through numb lips. Keeping in mind that I didn’t attempt to adjust the ventilation or the fit of the mask during my run, the balance seemed to tip in the direction of excess moisture as evidenced by the thick 1.5 inch icicle that formed at the base of the ventilation cup. However, it didn’t seem to impair my breathing or the overall function of the mask.... Talus accepted a tall challenge to create a functional, effective product that will work for the majority of people engaging in different activities. It’s an effective running mask in the extreme cold and, having scoured the Internet for similar products, I’d say it’s likely the best product available.

"Just wanted to point out how happy I am with the purchase of the ColdAvenger® Pro. At first when I received the product, I was turned off on how simplistic the product was. I thought man I could make this myself. However when I actually got to use this while snowboarding, I was amazed on how it really worked. I was up at the peak of the lift, when high winds started to blow with heavy ice rain. Having full coverage with my goggles on, I was impervious to the elements. Having no fog impeding your vision was a welcome feature. Great product guys."

"Thank you for making amazing products. I am an avid outdoorsman and I swear by your product. I am grateful.... I just purchased my first ColdAvenger® Pro, and it is amazing!  The warm, but cool, fresh air with every breath - I love it!"

"I've been using my ColdAvenger® during our recent cold snap up here in Fairbanks, Alaska. I've been skiing when it is -30°F and -40°F and today we raced at -20°F! I previously used a Psolar and I find the ColdAvenger® to be much easier to breathe through when exercising and with the foam piece on, my eye area doesn't ice up either. Great Product and performs as advertised!"

"Last weekend my 14 year old son and I gave the Talus mask a real world test at Whitefish Mountain Resort (formerly Big Mountain). At first we were skeptical and at the lower elevations it really wasn't that cold so we left the masks in the car. We were kidding each other that we looked like Darth Vader. We then took a ride on the lift up to the top of the mountain. There was a blizzard going on and white out conditions. We put on our normal ski masks and proceeded down the mountain. Halfway down we stopped after our goggles had fogged up and our masks had become frozen. We agreed to give the new masks a real try and skied down the mountain to get the Talus mask. We put them on and headed back up to the top of the mountain. My son and I then spent the rest of the day on the top of the mountain skiing the backside. It only took one run and we were blown away! The masks worked absolutely great. It lived up to all of your promises on the web-site and packaging. We didn't fog up nor ice up the rest of the day. It was easy to talk to each other and I didn't come home with my usual chapped lips. Congratulations on a great product! We no longer kid each other and it has now become a necessary part of our ski gear."

"I gave your mask the ultimate test this morning. It was minus 23°F and my breathing was excellent as long as I kept running and kept my body temperature up. No problem whatsoever with air temperature. If it can protect you at 23°F below zero, it is a winner!"

– Jim Hohnberger from Polebridge, Montana

"Great product! Both my boys and I love the ColdAvenger®; it came in handy during 20-30^o below zero temps with wind chill over the holidays here in Colorado. We were able to ski in comfort with your mask. I could have sold a whole truck load here over the holidays. Everyone wanted one."

– Jeff Cox, Colorado

"I tried the ColdAvenger® skiing in subzero weather and it was fantastic. Not only did I stay warm and comfortable, but my face and skin were protected from the harsh weather. I’ll never ski again without the ColdAvenger®."

"I used the ColdAvenger® while skiing in the Northern Rockies and fell in love on the first run! My face was dry and my inhaled air was warm and humidified. The mask is impervious to cold, wind and snow. I wear glasses under my ski goggles and the ColdAvenger® solved my problem of fogging lenses."

– Jim McLaughlin, M.D., Emergency Medicine

"The ColdAvenger® is wonderfully engineered. When skiing uphill or on long traverses I did not need to remove the mask to get more air. The air felt humidified and I was less thirsty at the end of my day on the mountain. I also skied faster because I felt no cold blast of air in my face."
