It is made of good heavy cloth that feels as though it will protect from the wind, etc and will be reasonably but not very warm. It slips all the way down to below the neckline of the shirt and has a hole large enough for the eyes and nose, although it bunches up slightly below the nose. It folds up into its original box of about 1.5 x 1.5 x 5 inches very well, and seems quite small for its warmth. Good purchase if you will be skiing, etc and need a bit of face protection.
