Save phase vs ?
I'm trying to decide on a save phace, or a motor cycle helmet. Or any other alternative if someone has suggestions. All I know is I have went through my last year without face protection during the winter lol

Motorcycle helmet will give more protection from the elements. I have one and will still be buying the save phase so I'll have options depending on the severity of the weather

Moto helmet in winter, save phase rest year in the rain or early mornings when cool.
Motor cycle helmet hands down, had 2 save phace and never liked them always fogged up and rain still hurt like crazy.

Have two don't wear them, I use Military goggles and ski hat that covers face. No fogging.
Ordered a snowmobile helmet for Christmas. Havent got a chance to put it to the test yet but I can tell it is going to be great.
Paid $49 on Amazon.
no one has mentioned Fish Hedz. They are better than save phace, because they do not have the foam for around the face, they a have a rubber type material so it will not disintegrate like the material on the Save phace masks.
I have all three, and prefer the fish hedz due to ease of storage, but there are times when a helmet works very well.
Fish hedz may not be in production any longer. I cannot find any. probably why it was not mentioned. I love mine though.
Motorcycle helmet. Plus they are cheaper than a Save Phace.
Motorcycle helmet. After running for an hour in big waves. The helmet keeps you calm. Your face stays dry after spearing a wave. You do not hear the waves and motor as bad. The helmet helps you keep composure and keep in the zone.
I use this. Works good enough.

Cool deal, thanks for all the info guys. Being out in the weather without is not for me anymore! lol Man, when it gets down below 40 and you are running around it just takes the fun out of it for me so I'm going to invest in something.

I love my Save Phace. I have never tried a motorcycle helmet but I am sure it would work fine. Each to his own.
I have the save phace but getting a helmet instead. The save phace is alright at best.

Caveman beard works well but hurts when it starts slapping you in the face around 60
Haha. I started with the "No Shave November". Then my wife said it was too "cute" to shave. Now I'm trapped. I look like a hobo. And it's too f-in cold to shave. Lol. Still shave my head though. So I look like a thug hobo. Lol.

We start filming our summer episodes at work next week and they told me, under no uncertain circumstances, that I will have a clean face with just my goatee on Monday. Lol

Have both helmet and save phase, wife wears Helmet in winter and save phase in spring and fall,
They fog up on me, I may try some Fog-X as mentioned above.
I started my beard around August, but the wife made me trim a few inches off for Christmas. She said my beard couldn't be longer than Santa's lol

Smith ski goggles and an insulated balaclava. Issue solved and doesn't take up space like a helmet.
Ok I can now testify that the snowmobile helmet is the way to go.
Rode about 50 miles with it today and it is great. It has small vents that you can open that directs air to your eyeglasses. My glasses would start to fog up if I was sitting with my shield closed but as soon as I started moving the air would clear the fog. And it wasn't enough to get cold inside.
The only downside is that it is bulkier than a mask but I have plenty of storage room so it's not a big deal.
The high quality paint ball mask is my choice. Well vented and light w/changeable shield. Stores well in the boat. It will shield in hail/sleet/snow fogging up can be a problem.
