Bargain winter warmer.......?

We've had a couple of these for a few years now and they really are good - especially in an icy penetrating breeze. I'm sure I would have lost my nose and ears long ago without them lol. :)

Last Saturdays session up at Belper was a bit of a wake up call.

There was a bitterly cold northerly wind blowing as well.

I should have put my thermals on before i set out.

 

Maybe these 'snuddies' at £1.85 a go are too good to be true.

I'll hopefully be testing them out soon.......:brr:

I have a different one that cost quite a bit more and doesn't look as smart, and doesn't have the mask part.

 

Mine is excellent for keeping your head, neck and face warm, but this looks like it could be better, so I've ordered one at that ridiculous price.

 

At that price they must have some poor soul knocking these out by the thousand for a bowl of rice a day in China! :facepalm:

That's a good find Rob, I have ordered one as well.

It's going to look like a detachment of the SAS on a mission when we are out in the field. It will be warm mind you!

So today eBay tells me it may take awhile to arrive (from China) :unsure:

Estimated time is Dec 2 -Dec 28. It might just make my Christmas stocking.

A slow boat from China. :)

I was tempted to be a bit radical and go for the bright orange one. :D But in the end clicked on navy as my other is black.

 

I found another Chinese seller undercutting the £1.89 in Robs top post. We could have saved 64p and still got free delivery from half way round the world! Must have their workers on half a bowl of rice a day!

I have just had an email saying mine might be delayed until December. That means I have to go out stalking with the itchy wool balaclava. :D
