thats not going to go down well jogging round moss side and also means a mugging is going to hurt much more ,what with the face mask getting smashed into your Face, im leaning on the not bother side here, maybe charge ya phone before ya jog and should you wish to run to lands end take a spare battery.

now if it was black, you knowzzz all the gangsterz would all have em on 24/7 with and without a phone plugged in.

ps im no gangster i wouldnt touch one less ya paid me ,and not outside

to be honest tho, that would be great for snowboarders/skiers on a mountain as they are breathing lots anyways and it protects your lower face from the elements.
