Color:
Each faceGlove TS has a cream colored high-loft POLARTEC fleece back, and a black POLARTEC nylon front.
STRAPS:
Each faceGlove TS comes with a black head-strap to be worn during the heat-molding process, and pair of super-soft and stretchy, surgeon’s mask earloops, which should be swapped-in after heat-molding.
Custom heat-molding:

Written directions : (Don’t bother reading this, just watch the video. Your mask will come out much better if you do. -Kev)
Custom Heat-molding: When your faceGlove TS is steamed or boiled for about 45 seconds, the thin, flexible, thermo-moldable plastic insert contained within softens.
- Put this warm mask on with your helmet and goggles in front of a mirror. For 45 sec- 90 sec after removing your faceGlove TS from the hot water or steam, the insert will behave like clay, and your mask can be formed to the shape of your face. Half of this shaping is done when you simply drop your goggles into place.
- Next, form the desired opening around your nose, press the mask firmly into your cheeks, and hold.
- After about 2 minutes, the insert solidifies, holding the custom shape of your face.
CARE: Your faceGlove TS should be cared for and stored like your ski goggles to preserve it’s custom shape (keep it inside your helmet!). Hand-wash in cold water.
Which faceGlove?:
a. If you want crushproof faceGlove for the backpack, or survival kit, it’s the faceGlove mini.
b. The TS is easier to use than the faceGlove mini, because it is stiffer, and already molded into the precise shape of your face. For resort skiing, motorcycling, and snowmobiling, I recommend the TS.
Jeff Andrews –
I wore my faceglove this past Sunday to climb Mt. Washington. It was as low of 15 Deg F according to my gps tempe thermometer and an estimated 25 to 30 mph winds. No real precipitation just some light freezing fog. Visibility about 100 feet. I used the Faceglove TS and my neighbor Mark borrowed my Faceglove Classic. Both worked great under these conditions. Mark plans to buy one for skate skiing and hiking. This is the first time I was at elevation under these types of conditions where my glasses and goggles didn’t fog up. Thanks!
