A couple of weeks ago my son and I went for a bike ride on a cold, windy day. We each had on a balaclava made by different well known sportswear brands. Though the head gear protected our head and face, we each had the same complaint. The hoods cut off at the Adams apple, leaving our throats exposed. It struck us as odd that two leading companies made very similar products – but neither one quite finished the job. Last week I was searching on Amazon for something else when a product listing caught my eye. The heading said AguaForma Multi-Sport Hood Mask Set, but it was the images that got my attention. They showed a hood with a long neck that actually came down all the way to the shoulders. I had to have a closer look. Upon reading further this looked like just what we wished for on that chilly bike ride. The piece was designed to be tucked in under a coat, parka etc. Beyond that, the "set" also included two extra long gaiters, one made from thin lycra, the other from thick fleece. The listing described layering variations for the pieces based on different conditions. I was not familiar with AguaForma, but I liked what I saw. They had a lot of 5-star reviews from buyers talking about quality and versatility. At 34.95, the offer looked like a lot of value for only a few bucks more than we paid for each big brand hood alone that wasn't even ... "complete". I had seen enough to take a chance, so I ordered 2 sets. When the UPS guy arrived I was immediately impressed upon first opening the Amazon shipping box. Inside were 2 craft paper envelopes with logos, and inside of those were the individually wrapped, labeled and tagged items. The company also included a detailed letter suggesting wearing variations, hot weather uses I had never thought of, care instructions, etc. (That was a far cry from the big brand packaging. Those hoods came out of the Amazon bag in a generic plastic bag with a retail tag – and nothing else.) I'll cut right to the chase here. This gear is everything the company claims and their reviewers confirm. The items are comfortable, made from excellent quality material, and they appear to be well sewn. Playing around with the pieces with the benefit of some YouTube videos, we've discovered that the hood/balaclava can be worn as a gaiter, and the gaiters can be worn as a hood/mask – and a whole lot more variations. To get further information, please consider taking a gaze at Check this out at http://www.amazon.com/AguaForma-Balaclava-Motorcycling-Paintball-Emergency/dp/B00QAL6ILS/hood mask/. My son can't wait to wear his for paintball and airsoft, and I'll find plenty of uses for mine. The company suggests keeping sets in every car to be prepared for sudden storms. Having been stranded in one that made national news last year, I think we'll do just that. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I will keep my eye on AguaForma products in the future. I recommend that you click the Amazon link and buy this gear if you like what you see. I will be interested to see what others have to say..
