If I had to buy it again, I'd probably get the regular balaclava, since a vented helmet lets the air in, and can be cold. I adjusted to that problem by putting a cover on the helmet.
It's surprising how well this works though, but it's only really necessary for very low tempeatures, or when you have the coughs. Oh, and the "heat sponge" can be removed easily, which makes it suitable warmer temps as well.
Thanks for the review. I already got a Nashbar balaclava, but I'll probably get the fleece model you mentioned once a friend of ours starts at a new Cabellas with his discount. Glad to hear it works well, that cold air really dries me out and makes my lungs hurt.
