Three states
It has two colors.
You'll mostly see both.
Cold is the resting state. Warm is what heat unlocks. But your face, your breath and the air around you are never all the same temperature — so the mask reads as both at once, shifting through the ride.
Full cold
Sitting in cool air, untouched. The deepest version of the colorway.
MixedDefault
How it actually looks on a ride. Warm zones lighten, cool zones hold.
Full warm
Fully heated through. The lightest version of the colorway.
State 2 is the one you'll live with.
Three masks, $20 each —
Heat map
Your face draws the pattern.
- 1CrownSun and helmet contact. Lightens on hot days and long stops.
- 2Mouth & noseBreath hits here first. Usually the lightest zone on the mask.
- 3Cheeks & jawDirect skin contact. Follows your face temperature.
- 4Neck & edgesMost exposed to airflow. Usually the last to lighten, first to return.
Take it off, let it cool, and the deep color comes back.
Under the helmet
Why put a layer
in between?
Your liner takes every ride
Sweat, hair oil and road dust build up inside a helmet over time.
Your mask is removable
A separate layer is easier to remove and wash than the entire helmet.
Less direct contact
The mask sits between your hair, face and the helmet liner.
It still looks like gear
Take the helmet off and the mask remains part of the fit.
