ColdAvenger face masks work by creating a micro-climate in front of your nose and mouth.  A portion of each exhaled breath is retained in the ventilator cup and passively humidifies the next inhaled breath.  The ventilator also manages extra moisture away from skin and allows for 100% free breathing where other masks eventually freeze up.

Will my goggles fog?
Preventing goggles and glasses from fogging is tough. The ColdAvenger® was designed to be worn with goggles where there is a better seal between your goggles and your face mask. When worn properly, the ColdAvenger mask will not fog your goggles.  

Will my glasses fog?
We make no claim or guarantee that ColdAvenger will prevent fogging of glasses. Some of our customers have found that the ColdAvenger® does not fog their glasses; however, some customers have found that their glasses may fog while wearing our mask.

What else can I do to prevent fogging?
Using an anti-fog coating on your lens and goggles is also important. When you first purchase goggles, they have an anti-fog coating on them. As you touch or wipe the lenses, this wears off and needs to be reapplied. It is important to not touch the inside of the lens as this wears off any coating. There are many commercial anti-fog coatings available.

Lastly, make sure you keep your goggles in position over your eyes. If you raise them up to your forehead, extra moisture from sweat is introduced to the inside of the goggles. As soon as you bring them back down, the temperature will change and the extra moisture will turn to fog on your lens.

By paying attention to your breath, taking care of your lenses, and correctly wearing goggles, you can make fogging a thing of the past.

Will the ColdAvenger® fit underneath my snowmobile/motorcycle helmet?
All of the ColdAvenger® masks are designed to fit underneath both half helmets and full MX type helmets with use of goggles.

Will the ColdAvenger fit under my ski/snowboard/bike helmet? 
All of the ColdAvenger® masks are designed to fit underneath helmets. If your helmet is particularly tight, this may prevent you from fitting a balaclava underneath. 

What is the difference between the Classic Fleece and the Pro Softshell?
The only difference between the ColdAvenger® Classic and Pro Softshell is the fabric. Both masks have the exact same ventilator. The Classic is made with “classic” fleece which breathes and insulates well, but is not windproof or water resistant. The Pro is made with “soft-shell” fleece, which is tightly knit fleece with a laminate nylon shell that makes it wind and water resistant. Both have the exact same ventilator which humidifies and warms inhaled air, manages moisture and allows for total free breathing. We usually suggest the Classic to folks who are less active or moving slower and the Pro to folks who are working at a higher rate of activity or moving faster.

What is the difference between the Expedition Balaclava and the FR Balaclava? 
Both masks have a similar hood and design, but the FR Balaclava is flame resistant and the Expedition is not.

How do I clean my ColdAvenger?
The ColdAvenger® is made using only the highest quality materials and therefore should not require much cleaning. If you do have to clean your ColdAvenger® we recommend two methods:
(1) Hand wash with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry. Machine washing is not recommended. 
(2) Simply wipe out the inside of your plastic ventilator with a damp cloth or an alcohol cleaning solution. Most times this is all you need to keep your mask clean. 

How should I store my mask?
For best results, store you mask in a cool dry location. Do not place too much weight on top of your mask as it can bend or smash the plastic ventilator.
