Naroo X5H
Breathability is key to a good winter sports mask, neck gaiter, or tubular. Combine that with our innovative EX-BONE that creates a 3D air-warming with anti-fog capabilities and you have the ultimate winter accessory. It’s easy-breathing, comfortable, and keeps you warm.
3D Air-Warming Chamber + Anti-Fog Capabilities
The key component of the Z5H is the ergonomically-designed EX-BONE, a lightweight, flexible exoskeleton-like structure that creates a 3D air-room. It prevents the fabric from touching your mouth and creating moisture buildup, but more importantly, it allows the air to become warm and humidified. Another function of the EX-BONE is that it helps prevent fogging goggles when combined with the Z5H’s adjustable nose clip.
Safe Winter Breathing
Because our lungs are made to process humid, warm air, the chill, dry air of winter can lead to wheezing and coughing. The Z5H is designed to solve that problem – it humidifies and warms the air. Additionally, it protects your face, head, ears, and neck from the wind, helping keep your head and breathing warm.
Half-Balaclava Neck Warmer
No matter how many times you slide your helmet or hat on or off, this half-balaclava made of mixed-weave fabric wraps snugly around your head and face without sliding down or covering your eyes. The shape and tailored mixed-weave fabric of the half-balaclava also maximizes protection during winter outdoor sports. The fabric also contains cuttable ponytail slits for those of you who like your hair to flow free.
Fitted Under Eye Stitching
A combination of a firm upper cheek line, special stitching, and an elasticated hem distributes tension and provides padding to not only prolong wear-time without irritation, but also to prevent the fabric from blocking your vision or irritating your eyes.
Quick-drying
NAROO’s nylon blend fabric wicks moisture away from the skin and allows it to spread out and dry quickly, which keeps you warm and dry in freezing conditions.

Kept my face, nose and lungs warm while skiing at -5F
Today I had the opportunity to finally use my Naroo Z5H (definitely needs a different name) while skiing in subzero (-5F) conditions. I am happy to say that the mask passed with flying colors. The nylon "cage" did not bother me at all, and it stayed in place during a 90 minute classic ski over difficult terrain. The air warmed nicely while i was breathing in, and the mask didn't ice up and create a shell over my mouth from breath exhaust, like a buff will. I noticed no restriction of air intake, despite working and breathing hard on long climbs. I have worn and used other masks for warming air while exercising in cold weather, and in my opinion the Naroo Z5H combination neck gaiter/breathing mask is the best. Highly recommend.
