It works really well except if the filter becomes waterlogged, in rain or high humidity. Would recommend the Sportsa, and a thick skin, as people will stop and stare.

Was looking to run a strong effort but found the cold air made breathing a struggle. After battling through the first mile and using my inhaler twice I opted to jog to the car and head home, feeling somewhat deflated and annoyed. Roll on the warmer weather as the cold air always makes for tough running....

When its really cold the air sometimes cause a burning sensation in the throat/lungs but knowing it's cold I start out very stead and not to push hard till i'm use to the cold air. I have used a buff around my nose and mouth a few times when biking and running but personally find it annoying and once warmed up pull it down around my neck.
