Just a quick update for everyone who's waiting for masks. The first shipment got delayed for a week because the light smoke masks were out of stock, but I am expecting it here any day now and will send them out as soon as I receive them.
I've placed the second order today, with shipping time to me quoted as 4-10 days. Again, I'll send them out as soon as I receive them.
I will also have a few in stock in the designs below (L-R Hannibal, Black Mamba, Storm Troopa).
Thanks for your patience!
John

The first dozen are all with their owners now, and another ten are going out in the post tomorrow. That should be everyone who has placed an order and paid. Looking forward to seeing pictures of Chris Murray and his crew wearing their Inferno masks!

There have been a few teething problems with the suppliers, but it looks like we've just about got it sorted out now. Shipping time including customs clearance is running at 2-3 weeks from me placing the order.
I have currently got a few Black Mamba and Storm Troopa masks available for immediate shipping, and I'm ordering a dozen Hannibals to keep in stock as these are the most popular so far.
If anyone is thinking about ordering something different, now would be a good time to catch this order.

Tried mine for the first time yesterday, what a difference it makes coming back into a cool 20kt headwind at 28-30kt I know I would have been getting quite cold after 10 min or so but no problems at all. Won't be wearing it a lot but its handy to have under the seat for those long into-wind runs or if it starts raining, very comfortable too.
Well worth getting one 
I admit though, I did take it off before anybody saw me

I've just heard that the Hannibal design (carbon fibre lookalike) is out of production and won't be available until the end of the summer.
As this is the best seller I was planning to keep a reasonable stock of these, but that's not going to happen for the time being. I currently have Black Mamba and Storm Troopa in stock, and will be getting a few Total Eclipse and Inferno shortly.
If anyone wants anything else, please let me know.

Just had a call from SavePhace to say that they have got Hannibals back in stock sooner than expected.
I have a dozen on their way over to keep in stock. Any takers?
John

They are excellent, the only bit that gets cold are your ears! I was out last weekend in about 4 deg C and my phace was phrozen after about 5 min so I put the Phace on my phace and stayed out for another hour or so, some of the other extremities were starting to tingle a bit but the mask does the trick. Only thing I found is that glasses tend to steam up, but since I got contacts to use on the rib anyway, I have no problems now.

They won't be here in time, sorry!
I can do you a Total Eclipse, Black Mamba or Inferno in the meantime if that's any help.

Hi John
I know this may be a daft question but do they have any plans to do small size ones. Just thinking my daughter would love one and it may well stop those whinning trips when it is cold and windy...
Thanks Sarah

Only the one size at the moment, and as far as I know there are no plans for a smaller one.
They are pretty adjustable though, and fit most people. How junior is your daughter?

Looks a bit warry with the black Musto gear. All you need now is a brace of Glocks and a handful of stun grenades! 
Glad you like them though

Stock update
Should have a dozen Hannibals arriving tomorrow. One's already spoken for but the others are up for grabs.

Just tried on on my five year old. Definitely good for a laugh, but otherwise not much use. Sorry!
