FAQs
Will it keep me completely clean?
No! The Full Facial is born of a philosophy that only the face truly needs to be protected: keeping mud out of your eyes and mouth. In practice you'll be clean from your chest upwards.
They cover yer face - we never said anything about yer legs ;-).
Do I need anything else?
No. The set is the complete system: the CombOver and Toupee block different mud trajectories, each block ~50% on their own, together ~95% (there's a bit of overlap). See how they work for more details.
Why two small mudguards instead of one big one?
Because the mud takes two separate paths to your face, and they're best blocked from two different places - each close to your bike, where a small shield does the job. A single guard big enough to do both jobs is a compromise - they end-up heavier and stick-out more. See How They Work for more details.
Will it fit my bike?
Any MTB with disc brakes: any wheel size, frame size, suspension or rigid fork, tyres up to 3".
E-MTBs: the Toupee fits fine; on some e-bikes a zip-tie could obstruct battery removal or a tapered down tube may not suit the CombOver - see the FAQ page for details.
