My first experience with a balaclava
932399
I was told to get one for an upcoming trip.  Maybe I'll get used to it but I find it uncomfortable and constricting around the eyes.  Plus it scares my grandson.

i have a balaclava, but it wasn't standing up to the performance in the cold weather.  My face was freezing in the cold wind chill going down the ski slope.  So I bought this based on the review recommendation.  This is versatile, i can pull the face thing down if i get a little too warm or i can pull it up to cover mouth area just below my nose or i can pull all the way up to leave very little expose skin on my face in a really cold wind chill.  This keep my face from freezing.  The only down side is this thing is a little smelly right out of the bag, so i hand washed it with soap and it did get rid of the smell.  I see a lot of people have this on the slope.  This is one of the must have for cold winter gear.

This is the first time I've ever used a bald cap. I was Gru from the Minions for Halloween at school (I'm a teacher - female). So I watched a you tube video, cut around the ears for better fit (hint: cut much smaller than ear outline), then I used spirit gum to attach is securely around my head. Oh I just pulled my hair back into a low pony tail (I have fine hair). I wore a scarf so I left the bottom back of the cap unnatched. If I wanted to seal all the way around I would have need a second person to help. ANyway... I attached it with spirit gum. Then I dabbed Mehron liquid latex on top of it and around the edges to blend it in. It really looked like I was bald. The kids at school first didn't recognize me and then after they found out who I was (I also had a fake nose) they kept asking if I had really shaved my head.

This is a very warm Balaclava.
Minus33 is the best Merino wool company.
A word of caution to others who live in sub zero climates, the humidity from breathing does get frozen if you move the bottom part down.

Looking for Balaclava ? Go for this one ! I Bought 2 of them, fit perfectly, and they are really nice to wear.

Went skiing at Blue Mnt. This balaclava performed great. It is a lil snug around the nose but I believe it is necessary to stay up. It didn't fog up my ski goggles at all but Im not sure how it would do with sun glasses but I think the snugness would help with that. But yeah I was warm all day. Very happy with purchase.

Awesome balaclava, comfortable and versatile! It definitely keeps me warm while I bike, adding the hood of a hoodie and my bike helmet, I can take it down to -1F with windchill which is the lowest I have gone so far

I bought these balaclavas for a ski trip to Utah. Unfortunately, when they arrived, one of the items had a busted seam around the face opening. I contacted the seller by e-mail, and within a day they had shipped a new package. Kate and Kendall provided excellent customer service and saw to it that I received a brand new item. And of course, the balaclavas were warm and comfortable. The temps on the mountain ended up being around 45, so there was no need for the full face coverage, but I rolled my balaclava to fit like a hat and it kept my head and ears nice and warm.  I would not hesitate buying from this company.

I love this balaclava. I've had a few but have always had a lot of gripes. I'm using this one for skiing and snowboarding. It is super warm but not thick enough to change the fit of my helmet. The face part hinges down so that on warmer days I can pull the front down and wear it more like a scarf. On really cold days I can pull it up and cover my nose and mouth completely. It has a breathing vent that keeps moisture from building up inside. Overall I rate it Awesome.

Really. With the balaclava, I can now ride my bike in chilly to cold weather. I love all of the coverage options. The balaclava is always on my neck, head, or face or waiting in my bike bag. Would definitely buy again and I highly recommend.

I was having real issues with fogged vision while snowmobiling. It was getting really dangerous as i was guessing half the time.

Nothing seemed to work ( except rotating multiple dry goggles) then I bought one of these Haber fans.

My first experience was bad. I was useing a Klim balaclava and had some snow get in the goggles after a snowmobile dig out.

combination led to fogging in my goggles with the fan on. I cleaned the snow out of my goggles and took the balaclava off and my problem was solved.

Now it is impossible to fog my goggles up. I love it but unfortunalty I need to buy two more for my daughters. They have issuse with their vision as well.

Every once and a while there will be people asking me what that sound is ( inside cabin or car ) when I forget to turn it off. The battery usage is awesome! So far it has lasted through 6 days of riding. The battery cover is lost it just wouldn't stay on though. The auto feature works well and thats the way I use it. It senses the humidity inside the mask and only kicks on once it climbs to a certain level.

I have loud 2 stroke sled so sound is reassuring not irritating.

Great product very happy and I will soon own three of them.

I wore this balaclava this past weekend riding a motorcycle in 60 degree weather.  It's definitely worth the $10 cost on Amazon.  It kept my face and ears warm while using a half helmet.  It's exactly what I was hoping for.

Overall this balaclava is worth the money.  I like how it feels against my skin and that I can adjust it to cover up as much of my face as I choose.  However it does not provide as much warmth as I would like.  I use it when I cycle and when it is cold I'll go back to wearing wool.

The gloves were so magical. Once I put them on I was transported to Arendelle.  I could freeze anything in sight!! Lol

1.  My head is a size 7-1/2 (large, but not unusually large), and this thing is very tight on my head.  Not around the face part, just on the hair part.

2.  If you have the cover down past your front hair line (as shown in the product photo), it will expose your hair line in the back.  Another problem with it being too small.

3.  The thickness of the mustache means it is covering up your nose holes.  This would probably be a plus if it was very cold (like putting your head under your bed covers, your own breath can help warm you up), but if you were doing any kind of aerobic activity, it would not be ideal.  And it may get on your nerves, regardless.

4.  The thickness of the product means that any headgear won't fit that well on your head, unlike if you were wearing a balaclava.

It looks really cool, regardless, but it seems like a lot of money for a novelty that doesn't fit well.  But it's a very cool concept, and yes, it looks cooler than a balaclava.  If it fit better, I would have given it five stars.

This was just what I needed. I bought this specifically for my trip to Iceland last week and believe me; it it was much needed. At first I had my doubts seeing how thin it is compared to beanies and other fleece materials but I was pleasantly surprised it held up to blustery winds and snow. There was one evening where the wind was so strong, the snow felt like needles in the areas not shielded by the balaclava but the rest of my face was well protected. I highly recommend the product.

I would recommend buying this for cosplaying a ninja and such (that is the reason why I bought it).  For those wondering how far down the neck portion goes, it actually goes far, even for large heads.
If you are looking for a balaclava for skiing, I would recommend purchasing a more expensive one because the fabric is thin; it won't keep you warm.
My only complaint is that you can slightly see through the balaclava once it is worn. It's not too noticeable but it happens.  However, for such a low price, this is worth it.  I plan on purchasing more.
