The idea is kind of cool…the execution though? If you hadn’t said it was meant to be a gas mask, I wouldn’t have a clue what it was….
If you wear glasses, the typical ski mask knocks your breath back through your eyeholes, fogging your glasses. This ‘gas mask’ design could actually be more practical for people wearing glasses, the ‘feed bag/ air filter’ nose portion would allow the force of ones breath to dissapate rather than being forced out through the eyeholes, and ones glasses would not get fogged.
That is, it could catch on.
If you had said that was a knitted terrorist mask, I would have found it more convincing.
Just don’t ride your bike in the winter. Problem solved.
