They are functional in the desert and neat looking in the right context. They are insanely tryhard and cringe when worn by stateside people trying to look "hard". Some militia faggot or macho gun instructor loses extra points when they wear one of these like a fashion item.

I wear mine in the winter, they're perfect for the face because they are thin but catch your breath and warm up your cheeks.
They're for operating the espresso machine in the starcucks.

They're great in the winter and fall when it's too warm for a full wool scarf, but too cold to do nothing.
i bought one originally for novelty purposes.
Ended up wearing it out shooting in the miserable PNW winter. Kept my neck and head all manner of warm.
No regrets.
Airfag here non-operator here. Was commo for a infantry unit. The balaclavas you can get are better for keeping dust and shit out. Just keep it around your neck and pull it halfway up.
Might be different if you are a gunner or something and want something lighter. Also natives use them, if you want to be like that.

My coworker used to wear his to the office until we started calling it his Cum Bib. Then he stopped.

They help stop hot brass from going down your flak when doing a CMP shoot.
