Switchback replies: This is because my pal Yogi is tough and smart and I am not. Actually, I find if something is completely over my nose, I do not like it. Too much carbon monoxide.
But this brings up a very good point. What if you simply cut a horizontal line about three inches long in the back of your balaclava. Now when you turn it around you have a nose hole for breathing easily. Your nose is still covered. You could do the same for your eyes. Hummmm, why didn't I think of that before. Of course, you could buy a balaclava that has a face mask, but I find those too restricting.
After looking at my face mask from BassPro Shops, mine is the same as in the pictures at their website. It weighs half an ounce, so I guess I will keep it for the trail. I like the flexibility using it. Plus, it is a great mask for Pirate attacks along the trail.
