Who We Are

Our journey began in 2012, when founder Kevin Bourque was facing the harsh, biting cold of the Teton Range in the Rocky Mountains and recognized a need for better face protection. Traditional neck gaiters and balaclavas kept the face warm at first, but would soak through in less than 30 minutes. Not good for multi-day expeditions.

Out of that necessity, the faceGlove was born—a revolutionary solution to keep outdoor enthusiasts warm and protected, even in the most unforgiving environments.

Whether you're scaling peaks, patrolling slopes, or exploring the edges of the world, the faceGlove is designed to help you face the elements with confidence.

Commonly asked questions

FAQs

Do I need the faceGlove or faceGlove FLEX?

We think everyone needs both.

The faceGlove offers a fleece interior, making it a heavier insulated mask for -30°C and below.

The faceGlove FLEX can also handle tough weather, but is a bit of a lighter protection for active adventures. It also folds up smaller and is more discreet in your pocket.

What is the faceGlove made of?

faceGlove is made with POLARTEC's High Pile Fleece (formerly Sherpa fleece), and POLARTEC's most technical nylon fabric so you can be sure you're getting a quality product that is worth the investment.

Do your products come with a warranty?

Yes! If your faceGlove, faceGlove FLEX, or Bala suffers a manufacturer's defect such as tears or broken straps, just email us at contactus@outeru.ca and we'll replace it completely free!

But will I look silly wearing it?

The faceGlove may not be runway fashion (yet), but we believe experience is what matters. When you're able to stay warm, dry, and comfortable in your coldest adventures without soggy, frozen fabric ruining the fun you'll be glad you chose experience over fashion!

  • Kami Rita Sherpa - The most experienced high-altitude mountaineer, ever.

    I was given a faceGlove 7 years ago by another guide, and have used it on every climb since. My whole team uses faceGloves now. I use it because the faceGlove works better than creams for fighting the high altitude sun, and it's the best thing I've found to protect against frostbite, that does not fog glasses and goggles.

    @outergear's bala™ is superior, I typically don’t wear face masks because they’re too hot and get wet but this one breathes so well and has an intelligent design for venting heat.
