Under ArmourMen's ColdGear Infrared Tactical Hood
J**Y
Believe.
Bought this right before a ski trip to Tahoe and I am convinced it kept me on the slopes and out of the mens room with air dryers off my face in an attempt to thaw it out. I was told by a member of search and rescue that the two days I selected to ski were some of the coldest they had seen in awhile with minus windchills and single-digit temperatures. It was cold. The hood was snug but not restrictive and I have a large melon of a head. I read complaints of the hood not being long enough and though I agree, I also had an under armour cold gear mock turtleneck that I was able to tuck the bottom part of the hood under with no issues. I could breathe with moderate ease through it and while a similar product with vents became wet and froze up on my brother, the area around my mouth simply became moist by breath but never became cold or began to freeze. This was one of three purchases by under armour that were worth every penny and more. One other item of note was how it kept wind out. I was aware of the wind but it never penetrated the hood while breathing, again, was nominal though slightly above having nothing over my nose and mouth. Fantastic product and with the Prime membership, I had it in 2 days. No, I am not a paid spokesperson, but I should be. :)

The head portion will keep your upper head warm for a while but I suggest putting on a cold weather beanie over it ( The UA one
This hood is exactly what I wanted and exactly what I expected. It's light weight and it keeps your face and ears warm. This is mostly because the mask traps all the hot air that comes out of my big mouth and redirects it all throughout my face and even to my ears. The head portion will keep your upper head warm for a while but I suggest putting on a cold weather beanie over it ( The UA one is super warm) if you are going to be exposed to the cold for long periods of time. I have seen some reviews of people complaining that the mask does not withstand the cold for long periods of time while standing outside. Most things don't. The cold usually wins. Ogres have layers . So should you.Pros - -Some "pew professionals" in the LEO department can not wear the face portion of this hood. The good people of UA designed this so the hood can easily be brought down to the chin.-The neck portion tucks right into any shirt you are wearing so no skin is exposed to the cold elements.- Very warm on the face and great base layer for the skull.- Very comfortable material. Very comfortable fit.- Even if you are not an American badass you can pretend to be one while wearing this mask and holding an AR15 in a pic with your buddies.Cons--Wearing this mask after getting into an argument with your spouse about grocery money, driving to the bank to get said grocery money, getting road rage while driving to the bank to get said money , and then entering bank wearing said mask and flailing your arms while screaming because of anger due to spouse and traffic may lead to serious injury, death, or a teller quickly giving you a lot of money in a bag. In short. Don't wear this mask to the bank.

Keeps My Boy Warm!
I have a high schooler who is on the baseball team. Utah weather is erratic so you never know what you are going to get during the season. It has been really windy and cold so we bought him this. Best purchase. It keeps him warm so it is one less thing he has to worry about during a game!

Great Cold Gear performance
This hood is a great addition to my motorcycle riding attire. It looks and fits great. It easily fits underneath my motorcycle helmet. Also I wear glasses and the glasses easily fit between the hood and my ears. I purchased the hood strictly for cold weather use while I ride my motorcycle. So far so great. The long neck easily folds under my jacket and creates a sela around my neck as well. I rode the day I got the hood it was 40 degrees outside with a slight breeze and it performed well. I rode yesterday, it was 35 degrees with 10 knots of wind and it also performed well. At sixty mph I am still very comfortable and there is no chill around my neck or up into my helmet. This hood seems to work well at all speeds within the speed limit and at least down to 35 degrees while riding. I will definitely be using this all winter as I ride year round.Thanks UA for another gerat cold gear product.

I bolster mine with a good old Carhart watch cap and have weathered sub zero ...
As the photo shows this hood is snug, VERY SNUG. Not uncomfortably snug, just form fitting and know this, this hood is a wind stopper not a cold stopper. Be aware that if you cover up all but the eyes and you wear glasses, your gonna fog up. Now, all that being said, the hood works as it should. I bolster mine with a good old Carhart watch cap and have weathered sub zero temps. The I/R Tac Hood is extremely light weight and well constructed. The seams do not cause discomfort. You can wear it up to the eyes under the nose or under the chin with no pinching or binding. I like it. It is what it is, no B/S. I have other UA stuff and you pretty much get what you pay for with them. I've not been disappointed.

Excellent cold weather gear
I purchased this to use with my motorcycle while riding in the 4500 ft elevation where I live. This winter it has been an amazing item. It has made riding possible in cold weather. It absolutely conducts heat from the naturally warm areas the base of my neck to the cooler areas at my cheeks and crown. I wear a helmet while riding in the cold which adds to the effect, the only place that ever gets cold is right at my nose where I inhale. This product performs exactly as specified, and has kept me warm down below freezing and at speeds around 70 mph. It does restrict airflow slightly, but that can be nothing but expected with something that covers the nose and mouth. I can see how someone taller than I am (6'1") would feel the neck is not long enough as I have had it come untucked from regular button down or t-shirts. I think it is wonderful, and would recommend it to anyone other than the extremely tall, large headed or those that go places that only wool and microfleece can be used to retain heat.
