I wear a wool (icebreaker) face mask when its below 40 to keep the wind out of 
my nose (and thus prevent dryness/nosebleeds). But I'm remembering, as it's 
getting colder, that the drawback to face masks is that breath condenses on 
them and they get soaked. My wool doesn't get cold when it's wet, but it's 
still unpleasant. I have some heavier synthetic masks that do the same thing. 
The only one that does it less is one with a large vent at the nose and pinhole 
vents in front of the mouth -- but then the cold wind goes straight up my nose 
and I'm back to getting nosebleeds.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? A miracle fabric or a 
not-too-complicated jerry-rigging of the face mask? Should I maybe get a 
snorkel and exhale only through it?
