yeah, it does help
reason why i choose that face mask, it has enough ventilation to keep moisture out, and keep you warm at the same time.

and that little "nose tent" is well designed to keep the expiring air out of the way.
the goggle itself is well made, and it doesn't get fog up.

the goggles are really easy to take off, so does the mask.
i always find the bike helmet is always the most awkward thing to put on/off

here is what i wear for the upper torso.
