Hi Tim,
Just wanted to touch base with you and give you my thanks for such a great product! While pre-running for the 2010 Baja 1000, I had a little mishap that left me feeling like I got kicked in the chest by a Mexican Mule. When I picked the bike up off the ground, it was obvious that I had sustained some type of injury. It was difficult to catch my breath just trying to lift the 450 KTM that I was riding. We assumed that I had probably bruised a rib and I was good enough to continue the remaining 30 or so miles. As it turns out,I had broken 3 ribs and bruised a few others! I firmly believe that I would not have been able to make those 30 miles back to the chase crew if I had to deal with “concrete” lung on top of my injury. The Wolfsnout [All Sport] filtered the fine desert dust (that at times decreased visibility to only a couple of feet] clouds allowing me to breath cleanly.) I have been riding/racing dirtbikes for 30yrs and have been happy to eliminate the heavy breathing that we all suffer from when riding in dusty dry conditions thanks to your product. Many people have asked me”does it make you hot?”, I reply with, “I didn’t even know I was wearing it while riding in the BAJA desert heat”. I normally ride in the South Eastern woods where it gets hot, humid and sticky and I have no issues or discomfort  with it. When you stop after a long run, you do notice it a little, no big deal though. I just pull it out of the way and push it back in place before starting out again. You really do forget that you are wearing it after about 2nd gear.value my Wolfsnout as much as my steering stabilizer and wear it on every ride, even while cutting the grass!
Thanks

Hey Tim.
You sent me a WolfSnout in the Spring and I wanted to let you know that i absolutly love it! When it arrived I couldn’t try it out because of an injury but i just got back on the track a few weeks ago and it was a lifesaver!  I race bmx and whoever says that  those tracks don’t get dusty they are definatly  wrong. After a few laps of practice I put it in my helmet and i noticed the difference right away. I could breathe easier and I wasn’t coughing anymore. When a few other riders at the starting gate saw it, they were amazed. Most of them just use  bandannas and wrap them around their face. This product is amazing and I can’t thank you enough. You have not only helped me breathe easier, But i also got 1st in my class because I didn’t have to stop for once from my sensitivity to the amount of dust.
Thank you so much!

Tim,
Yes, I received the new snout on Friday. Thank you very much.I did ride with it on Sunday, and, actually, I thought that it DID fit under the helmet a bit better. There was not as much “bunching” or squishing of the snout; it was easier to get into the proper position, and I did not find it performing any differently than the others that you had sent. Let me tell you this, I am a fan of the snout. Two weeks ago, I wore it for the first time in a race.  The way we start the races out here is that all of the “Pros” and “A” riders get up on the starting line, with a dead engine. The promoting club raises their banner, and when they drop it, we start our bikes and start the race. Then the “B” riders move up, and when the dust clears, the club raises the banner again, and when it drops, the B riders are out on the course. Then they do the same thing for the C class. I ride in the first wave, and when the banner dropped, I could not get my bike started! Kick! Kick! KICK! Nothing. By then, the first wave was gone, and the B riders were moving up. I am kicking frantically, because whenever I can get the dang thing lit, I am free to go. Kick! Kick!! Just before they raised the flag for the B wave, I got my bike started, and took off. At a HUGE disadvantage, of course. About 3 miles in, I started catching up with those who got off on the banner drop, and I cannot tell you how confident that the dust mask made me feel. As dusty as it was, I knew that I was getting a full lung-full of clean air with each breath, and that let me be a bit more patient that I would normally be. Wait for them to make a mistake, be in the proper position to capitalize when they did, and move forward through the pack. After 56 miles, I came into the pits, and stopped for gas. I wanted to complain about what a terrible start I got, and my club members were saying “who cares? You have moved up into the top 10!”With that, I took off for my second lap. Unfortunately, I hit a big rock coming out of the first checkpoint in the second lap, and went over the bars. I got up; straightened out the front end (handlebars got a little sideways) and got back on the trail. As it turns out, I broke a rib in that crash, but I was able to hold my position. From that point forward, I did not catch anybody else, nor did anybody catch me. I finished up 7th overall. Not bad considering the horrible start, and the wreck. Thank you very much for letting me use the Wolf Snout! I fully believe that it is giving me a competitive edge while it also is simply making the riding experience more enjoyable.
