I don't like heavy clava's. Favorite was a silk one, but I don't know where I got it from. Biggest problems with clavas:

1- too small opening for glasses
2- glasses fog up too much
3- too hard to breathe thru the opening: either too small an opening, or mis aligned for riding
4- too thick and heavy feeling

Suggestions?

Here's a few.

I have another one from Borah that I like too. It's nice have more than one. In my case at least they're exposed to a lot of sweat and exhaled moisture.

I prefer a 'clava to the neoprene face masks which I used to use that velcro at the back of your head.
