How breathable is it?

In my experience with this type of equipment , this balaclava is very good. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being no restriction to airways at all, this would rate an 8. That being said, any physical device covering nostrils and mouth will be somewhat of a hindrance to breathing and air exchange. My wife and I each use one and are very happy with them. We use them almost daily. The trade off is that we would rather dodge frost bite on our noses and chins than have perfect breathability.

I am a big lad - xl or xxl - will this fit comfortably?

I have a 7-5/8 head (hat size) which is between XL and XXL. It fits comfortably and I am happy with the comfort. However, one of the features that is described is that it can also function as a "neck gator” (pulled down around the neck when not needed on the face). Don’t expect this function to work with an XL to XXL head, as the face hole barely stretches enough to allow it to fit over that size head.

Will this fit a youth? (specifically boy age 12)

I would say yes depending on his size and even if it was a little big putting a scarf on under it would do the trick! It's an excellent product!

Is it loose on a 21" head?

It is loose on a 15yr old w/ a hat size of 7 1/4
