How do you keep your face warm

[TrailSlug]

That is mildly frightening...

Yea, I'm not sure I'm going to sleep outside tonight now. I can't un-see this

I have a wool balaclava that I use with the motorcycle. Not tight. Comfortable. Just haven't hung in the cold yet..

I have a knit hat that pulls down over my face. The part that pulls down, I knitted open enough to see and breathe through comfortably, and loose fitting to not be constructing. The head part I knit with double yarn so it keeps head warm too.

I have one of each Buff model (not color) they make. Varying usefulness for varying conditions and parts of the head and neck. But to keep my *face* warm, as you asked, I usually use a Schampa CoolSkin Balaclava from Amazon, in winter. Quite thin and also useful for cutting down on biting winds on the face when shoveling snow or skiing or cycling in winter. I have three of these so I can add a second or a third, layering them depending upon wind force and snow versus ice snow. Where I live in extreme snowcountry, it's typically blowing sideways and you must cover your face if there's wind also. This layering on and off of thin balaclavas allows me to fit any condition and to adjust to any temperatures easily. A custom thermostat so to speak. But for hammocking, I just use one. It's the best solution I've found to date.

The "Buff" type headware is very useful, and you can fold it to make alot of different configurations for wear. I fold mine like a balaclava on chilly nights, and you can cover or not cover your nose, whichever you like better.

I tried other coverings over my face but too restrictive. I had a great deal of pain in my sinuses for a couple of months following a -16°F night and had to come up with something. I just wanted to keep the warm air around my nose and came up with not a snorkel but what I refer to is my sockel.

I think that's brilliant. Somewhat disturbing, but brilliant. It's like a Sea Monkey and a Sock Monkey met at a bar, had too much to drink, and you can guess the rest. Really clever though. I'm in NC and we don't get too many sub-zero nights, so cold face syndrome hasn't been an issue. You can bet, the next night in the teens or lower I'll be sporting the latest in Sockel wear.
