I had that issue too with a place here in town . . .If you go to the Seirus website and they tell you it’s carried at Olympia Sports at the Newburgh Mall, don’t believe them.
They don’t have any Seirus products in that store.

I wore it walking one cold day. It was warm and comfortable. Easy to breathe with the face pocket and easy to pull up and down. It's the same one @Olesya Chornoguz reviewed.How is the fit? Have you worn it around anywhere? I am behind on prepping for my first ski trip of the season. I was too busy moving. And don't have snow tires on!
That brings back memories- I remember when they first built that mall- I might have been in high school about then. Its been remodeled a couple of times.If you go to the Seirus website and they tell you it’s carried at Olympia Sports at the Newburgh Mall, don’t believe them.

I've been wearing the Seirus Comboclava (S/M size) for about 15 yrs, and I love it. It has openings below the nose and over the mouth to breathe thru, and even so, that area gets wet (it's neoprene, though, so I just shake it out vigorously when I take it off and most of the water shakes out).The Seirus I bought has the EVO mask incorporated. I like the breathing pocket it makes, very comfortable. I wanted to look at the magnemasks but the shop I was in didn't have the styles I wanted to look at.

Did you try calling the ski shops at the resort you're going to? They may have them in stock. Or, perhaps you could order from Amazon and have them ship it to your hotel. You might not have it on day 1, but maybe by the next day or so.And returning to my most recent favorite gripe: It seems quite difficult to score a Seirus Evo Dana at all before my trip Saturday. I could get one with expedited shipping on Amazon for an extra $31! but not stores around here carry it, and those that do are out. I even checked EMS in Lake Placid, but they don't have it. I suppose I'll be wearing one of my ear-loop masks and pulling it down while skiing, a non-preferred solution!
My concern about the one with the EVO mask incorporated is that it does not have those openings (obviously), so it's bound to get very wet inside (and cold?) while skiing. The more I think about it, I'm wondering if I might like it better to wear a mask over the Comboclava, so I can drop it down when I'm actually skiing, and pull it up when on the lift, etc. Has anyone tried this approach yet?
Cute!Finally got one of the 3D design. Need to wash it and give it a real world try to see how the fog situation is. But it's cute, so it's got that going for it.

I have not seen that mask at any of the likely stores. I went online and put one in the shopping cart at the Seirus site. And it was $10 for shipping for one little mask that weighs nothing! So I didn’t buy it, at that point hoping to find in the store. Each day I would get an email saying I had items in my cart and did I want them. And each day I just let it sit there. And about the fourth day I got an offer for free shipping and then I bought it! If you’re not in a hurry there are sometimes ways to win the battle! I haven’t received it yet but I got an email that it had been shipped.
I'm sorry to hear that it's being such a struggle, but thank you for being an early tester for our "new normal". What you're describing is what I've been imagining. I actually think I was dreaming about different mask-helmet-face mask combinations last night. I can see that I'm going to have to get my gear out early and start testing out different combinations.Challenging first day. Our local hardware store sells n95s and we don't have a local shortage, so I did buy a few as I am high risk.
While I feel safe without one on open chairs (simple double neckgaiter), I don't in our shared gondolas. It is turning out to be a struggle getting it, the n95, on and off while dealing with helmet, poles and skis in my hands. I did not even have students in tow for the soft opening.
For a good fit the straps really do need to be around the back of my head and it can not be crushed and simply live under my neckgaiter when not in use.
Helmet on and off while it is snowing will be a pain. Wet neckgaiter or mask is inevitable within about half an hour.
Feeling a bit depressed....
Teaching is not going to be as safe as I had hoped for.
For certain, practice your moves at home first. May I suggest not doing so after a long emotional day...my first mistake.I can see that I'm going to have to get my gear out early and start testing out different combinations.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are people who don't wear masks being sent home? Or are they allowed to continue skiing without the mask? Does this policy only apply to people with disabilities? Is that who you teach?....
Our resort is not making accimodations for ADA non mask wearing people at this time. Finding this a rather bold move, but it does simplify enforcement of the current best practice rules.
I just received mine. (Seirus Thick and Thin ARC balaclava). Not a fan. Very snug, which I guess you need, but the mask is totally inadequate. You can see quite a bit of light though it. You'd want to combine this somehow with another mask. This is for folks who don't believe in masks, but want to pass inspection by the lift attendant. I'd return it if I hadn't had to clip it off a card. (Altho they may have said no returns, don't remember.) I'm thinking I could use it under a decent mask and just pull that up as I approach a liftline.How is the fit? Have you worn it around anywhere?

Ours is requiring that you submit medical exemption requests in advance for review. You can't just scream a claim at the lift attendantOur resort is not making accimodations for ADA non mask wearing people at this time.

BTW, I decided (probably a bad idea) to peruse the Abom website to see if they have any sales: 30% off everything, and a free extra strap included! That essentially comes to a free extra lens, if you want one.I have the HEET model, with 3 lenses: clear, resolution red, and copper dome. My default for our PNW days especially poor visibility days is the resolution red. I got the copper as I found I got some eye strain on sunny days in the spring, but it is not much different than the resolution red for brightness and I find it a duller view. Recommend the resolution red. I need another lens for the bluebird sunny days in the spring.
