What Is the Q-max Cool Feeling Value? Discover the Science Behind MDOG Ice Silk Cycling Mask
If you're someone who bikes, runs, or simply spends time outdoors during hot weather, you've probably felt the discomfort of sweat, stickiness, and overheating. That's why cooling masks have become a must-have accessory—and when it comes to real cooling performance, the Q-max value is something you need to know about.
Today, we’re taking a closer look at what Q-max means, and why our Ice Silk Cycling Mask—with a Q-max of 0.3—stands out as the ultimate summer companion.
What Is Q-max?
Q-max stands for Maximum Instantaneous Heat Flux, a scientific term that measures how quickly heat is transferred from your skin to the fabric. The moment your skin touches a material, it either feels warm, neutral, or cool. The higher the Q-max value, the cooler the fabric feels to the touch.
This is especially important in hot and humid climates, where comfort depends on how fast your gear can wick away heat.
What Does a Q-max of 0.3 Mean?
A fabric with a Q-max value of 0.3 or higher is considered to have a strong cool touch effect. Here’s a quick guide to how Q-max levels translate to sensation:
| Q-max Value | Cooling Sensation |
|---|---|
| ≤ 0.1 | Minimal to no cooling |
| 0.1 – 0.2 | Mild cool touch |
| 0.2 – 0.3 | Noticeably cool |
| ≥ 0.3 | Instant ice-cool effect |
Why Choose Our Ice Silk Cycling Mask?
Our Ice Silk Cycling Mask is built for performance, comfort, and style. Here’s why it’s your go-to choice for outdoor activities this summer:
-
Instant Cool Sensation
Made with high-performance fabric that achieves a Q-max value of 0.3, the mask delivers an immediate cooling effect the moment it touches your skin. It feels like a splash of icy breeze—perfect for hot days. -
Quick-Dry & Sweat-Wicking
The moisture-wicking fibers pull sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable even during intense rides or workouts. -
Ultra Breathable with Anti-Fog Design
Engineered for maximum airflow, the mask features a structure that promotes breathability while helping to prevent fogging when worn with sunglasses or helmets. -
UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Is Q-max the Same as Breathability?
Not quite! While both are important, Q-max specifically refers to cooling sensation upon contact, while breathability is about airflow and ventilation. MDOG Ice Silk Cycling Mask combines both, so you don’t have to choose one over the other.
Final Thoughts
When summer heat strikes, don’t settle for a regular fabric face covering. Choose a mask with a Q-max value that actually delivers cooling performance.
