WT –
Super cool look, kind of odd fit (perhaps due to age?). There is a non-adjustable elastic cord sewn into the face-hole; mine didn’t have much elasticity left (appeared to be dated 1989, maybe it was ’99) so it won’t stay fully over-the-nose all that great (the “pull tab” seems superfluous, perhaps due to the reduced elasticity). Pulled down it is very comfortable. Good neck coverage, not too snug around the face when up. Thick fabric. This would be serviceable for utilitarian purposes, and could kick ass as a costume piece in a variety of roles, but Koman is the king of hoods/balaclavas IMO.
