What materials are best for a balaclava and ski mask to not only protect from the cold but also provide comfort on long descents?
Do masks or balaclavas have heat-regulating fabrics or special mesh for ventilation that prevent fogging and allow the skin to breathe? I would like to understand what fabrics and design features are important to feel comfortable while snowboarding and not suffer from overheating or condensation on the mask.

This is my first season of skiing, and comfort and functionality were important to me. I bought the BlackStrap face mask here and I don't regret it. It's made of a material that regulates temperature perfectly - not too hot and not too cold. I can ski all day long and my skin doesn't overheat, and the mask doesn't fog up. I think it's thanks to the special mesh for ventilation. I also play around with the thermal lining, it really helps maintain a comfortable temperature in the cold. I recommend this model for those who are new and want reliable protection without discomfort.
