I'm familiar with the name, but these are also a specific type that's really useful for this sort of thing because they're comfortable and not too warm. Totally different than the fleece ones you get at Patagonia or North Face or wherever.

It's what I used as a "mask" in Jackson Hole last winter (Teton County went crazy over Covid) and it was accepted.
