This face mask / bandana option. I'm interested.

Everyone saying they can't breath when they are wet. Is there any without a funny mouth piece that can be used?

bjw, this is how many people ride at my beach. It's the USD 2 lycra bandana (sold at supermarkets as a cyclist bandana) with eyes, nose and mouth cut out with a pair of scissors.

Now that you mention it, with some of the shenanigans that I've seen kiting at our beach, it's hard to tell the difference

Bird is using F5, Im using this on the first page, which is a bit smaller and ligter.

Any will do.
