The other two ports are unrestricted. A slider contains two 1/2 inch square ports which can be aligned by the wearer over the screened ports in the spacer or the unrestricted ports. The screened ports are utilized while in motion or during driving snow storms. The unrestricted ports are utilized while motionless on windless days while standing in lift lines. | |
