It looks too much like "Hannibal the Cannibal". I'd be freaked out to see someone wearing it!

Is it an air filter or a face protecter?

It's Jacques Plante's original goalie mask from 1959. At least that's what's in my picture. That other thing I have NO idea

It actually does look like an air filter or something. That wouldn't be so bad, but it would still creep me out. I'm slightly clausterphobic.

More info on mask...

"The most versatile mask available, providing excellent filtration against most types of pollution a cyclist is likely to encounter. Uses a Dynamic Activated Charcoal Cloth filter to filter the worst of urban pollution. Also uses a Hepa-type filter to screen out sub-micron pollutants such as pollens and respirable dusts. Includes two Techno valves to allow easier exhalation, and releasing heat, water vapour and Carbon Dioxide from exhaled breath. Comes in two sizes, with a contoured shape for a good seal and comfortable fit and Velcro pads for easy application

Made from hypo-allergenic Neoprene giving a comfortable and secure fit. The filter is replaceable, and is designed to be effective for at least 1 month in normal regular daily use."

I would really hate to live somewhere that NEEDS that. I could imagine living in a place that needs air filters on your face and oxygen to buy in stores. Sounds like a creepy sci-fi movie I saw in the 80's where instead of water fountains they had air fountains, and air cost money and everyone needed a mask to be able to remotlely breath.

I might get the mask for halloween. With some white pajamas and some straps on a board, I'd look just like Hannibal.

As far as I know they're working to get it going for next season. If they don't, I'm pulling my season ticket money (plus the 10% they tacked on as a thanks for letting them hold the cash). They have until the scheduled start of the regular season to get things done. I was going to give them until the end of the calandar year, but after seeing what a circle jerk the last few meetings have been they're losing time. They almost had a deal by the deadline to save the season and now they're back to square one? B***S***!

To answer your question...yes, sadly, I have used one before. I used to commute to work in downtown Toronto and found that I was coughing up a lung after a couple of months of riding. After using the mask for a couple of weeks it was no longer a problem though. Sucks (pardon the pun) getting used to riding with it as it is much more difficult to breathe. I agree with Maelstrom....but sadly sometimes you have no choice

I have two phobias- water and bridges. Scuba diving is not in my future. I barely can get over bridges.
