My new obsession isn't the most
technical thing ever. Essentially, it's just a beanie with a facemask. But in so many
ways, it's much more than that. I mean, there are plenty of ways to keep your face warm on the mountain, but few are as awe-inspiring as this:

| The Scout Mask - you sneeze in it, you bought it. |
Made by art project/apparel company Spacecraft Collective, the Scout Mask ($34.95) is a beanie with an attached knit beard face warmer. My face goes numb at the drop of a hat when I'm snowboarding, so I'm all about keeping it warm. The Scout Mask just adds some style to the equation.
A lot of facemasks will keep your face warm, but few actually make me
laugh out loud every time I see it. I'm sure that at some point the
novelty of having a beard that would make Chuck Norris cower in shame
will wear off, but it hasn't so far. If it does, I could always use the Panda Mask ($34.95) to strike fear in the hearts of Yeti everywhere.

| I keep thinking about how funny it would be to vomit while wearing this. |

Most Wanted posts are profiles of gear that catches our eye. Since we
haven't gotten our hands on most of these pieces (yet), they aren't reviews -
they're just overviews on what the gear is designed to do. More often
than not, we'll try to get a tester to see how well they work, but until
then, we'll be content with just drooling over it. If you know of a
piece of gear that deserves to be featured on Most Wanted, shoot us a
note at editor@trektechblog.com.
