Has anyone commuted with this in the winter? Does it keep your face warm?

Yes! It actually gets a bit hot, even on a cold day. I use it as an air filter in Beijing which is also cold in winter. Haven't worn it while riding a bike though.

It does get a little warm but I would have to say not warm enough to melt the snow. Hope this helps!

It worked well for me. It didn't burn through or anything. In the winter here we use it often.

I live in the cold prairies of Canada and have one of these. The windows do not seem to fog much for me when I am plowing snow. I think that because it is not air tight, it doesn't fog much. As far as the cab being warmer, I would say that it is not. It's nice because you don't have the wind on you but there seems to be a decent gap from the bottom of the windshield part and my hood which let's in a little breeze. I'm not disappointed in it for the price. I would buy one again. Zippers on the doors seem to be good and install didn't take too long to figure out. Hopefully that helps a little...

"Warm enough" depends on the person. That said, I wear mine from +15F to +50F and I am perfectly warm. Below freezing they keep me warm only if I am actively cycling. If I stopped for more than a quick snack (15 minutes) I would be a bit cold.

I used this all last winter. I didn't have a snow suit on him but did have a blanket in case the sides popped off. I had a safety first seat and the cover wouldn't hook on wear the seatbelt holds. So I used either a snow suit or cover. Although the distance in and out from the vehicle was not far enough for me to worry. I live in northern MN, winter here can be vicious.

It does get warm, but I like to think of it as 'whittling my waistline'! :)

i use it when snowmobiling to protect against chapping. i also use it when my nose gets raw from blowing it with allergies or cold.

I have never been on a snowmobile, but there is no question that it would be great protection from the wind. My question would be whether you need to breathe through your mouth or not. If you only need to breathe through your nose, then this balaclava would probably meet your needs. I ride a bicycle and I need a more open-faced balaclava so I can breathe through my mouth. I generally wear a ski mask with a hole for my mouth as well as one for my nose for cycling or running in cold weather.

It does somewhat. I no longer feel much chilling when walking into the garage in winter morning like I used to feel before installing this thing. It may not completely shield cold weather for you but you still can feel the difference.

yes..... I have left it in my car for up to 2 hours not wanting to carry it while biking or skating and it still hold the cold very good.

No, it was very comfortable. Good air flow. I was, however, using it in cold temps. But I'd have noticed if it felt "hot" because I like to sleep very cool.

I bought the outfit for my husband for the 2013/2014 hunting season and I asked him if it was warm and he said no. However I thought I should mention he did say that it seems to work and do the job it promises to do. Hope this helps you.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

IT does seem to hold in warmth. Its great for winter. The only ones that are not as hot are the dense 3"...which I have not been able to find.
