Is this balaclava the "skin tight" lightweight underarmour "like" material (stretchy)? or is it a thicker fleece like material?

yes its stretchy, but not stretchy enough for me. it is more fleecelike, not the undarmour thin stuff.

Hey James. I have to be honest, I can't answer your question. Lol. I bought 2 of these, the "same" ones here on Amazon - one for me, and one for my husband. While both are very warm and work very well, oddly enough, one is thin underarmour type material and one is a thicker fleece. Same tag, same cut, same company, same Amazon listing - but completely different materials. It wasn't really an issue for us because my hubby has a big beard and wanted the thinner one and I took the fleece one but I just have to say I have no idea which one you will get....

It's a slight mix of both. Thicker than silk style. Not as thick as a fleece. Works well for me, when riding my motorcycle in the cold.

It is the stretchy underarmour type material not fleece. Thumbs up on this one and fits good too.

It's kind of like under armour in that it stays cool in heat, and not necessarily insulates but shields your arms from wind so it does provide some cold protection

They have some styles specifically for cold weather -- it's an acrylic that is very soft, and warm. There are some headbands with UV protection, several styles. You can wear the Buffs in several ways -- the Buff website shows how to do it. And it's a nice stretchy fabric that is strong yet supple -- it will serve you well -- it will fit nicely over your nose, yet the fabric will allow you to breathe!

It is like a fairly stiff, foam material that is covered by a soft T-shirt material next to the skin. The camouflage on the outside is soft too. The foam material holds its shape, but it does "give" with movement so it is not uncomfortable. My son has been pleased with it so far.

I'm not sure what fleece you're referring to, but my head is pretty big and this hat fit me just fine. The material is very high quality, too.

It's is more of a soft microfiber material. It's isn't microfiber, but that is the best way to describe it. I am sure if you drug it through burs you would pick some up, but it's not like fleece where anything and everything sticks to it

Yes, its not super comfy, but eating at the waffle shack in arctic weather is :) I carry this and a heavy neck wrap. If its warmer I wear this, it covers my neck fine. If its colder, I'll pull my neck warmer up to my goggles/face. Toasty.

The material is thin, so just a rash guard. It does keep your core warm if you wear a layer over it. I used it during a Tough Mudder in Seattle and it actually kept me "warm".

Hi Elaine...Yes, IMHO, it's slightly thinner, yet obviously higher grade neoprene than many of its competitors. I genuinely can't compare it to any of the drug store brands, given that this is a higher grade material, as opposed to the plastics and polyesters, etc of those brands. It holds body heat in quite well, and is quite flexible and without bulk at the back of the knee. I'm female, and wear it under loose, "boyfriend" style jeans with no visible markings thru the pants.

This is made of thin synthetic material. Something similar to what winter jackets are made of.It is not plastic.

In my opinion is like a cross between fleece and cortaroy. It's smooth. Better feeling polyester.

The jacket is lined with a thin reflective material to give it warmth. It is fitted. I wear a medium and it is a snug fit. No room for extra clothing underneath.

No, the one I purchased is a full body suit made of thin nylon material. It is to keep the sun off my body, not to keep warm.

It feels like a canvas material. The inside is like flannel bed sheets. Super warm!

Brenden, No its not stretchy at all, its ripstop fabric which is like a softer Carhartt material.

The material feels like any regular fleece, soft and warm. It's actually a two piece fleece, with Velcro on the top, and back sides of the bottom piece. It does a decent job at covering the neck area, the only thing is it depends on how well you Velcro the bottom and top. This product is more of a bottom layer, since you can Velcro the top portion to another fleece cap. If your in a tuff winter area(I'm in Northern Michigan), this would be a great under lining for extra warmth.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.
