Who did we design it for?

For skiers, mountaineers and winter hikers facing extreme cold at altitude, with or without a helmet.

How warm are they?

Very warm. The compact, insulating fabric covers the face, neck and ears, and the face panel pulls down in one motion when the cold eases.

How breathable is it?

A micro-perforated panel in front of the mouth lets air through during exertion. It helps reduce fogging on sunglasses or goggles, though it may not prevent it entirely.

What makes it different?

Its two-position design lets you cover your face or wear it as a simple balaclava in one movement. Flat seams sit comfortably under a helmet. 60g in S/M.

The balaclava that adapts to your face

At altitude, the cold reaches everywhere. The face, neck and ears: every exposed area leaves you less protected.

This balaclava covers the whole head. Its compact, insulating fabric is rated very warm, while a micro-perforated panel over the mouth makes breathing easier during exertion. Wear it two ways: with your face covered, or as a simple balaclava with one quick adjustment. Its flat seams sit comfortably under a helmet.

Because protection needs to match the intensity of the cold.

Key features

Dual-position design

- Full protection: covers face, neck and ears in extreme cold,

Flat seams helmet-compatible

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers especially appreciate its warmth, comfort and practicality: it covers the head and face well, feels pleasant to wear and fits easily under a ski or motorcycle helmet in very cold weather. Several also praise the good fabric quality and thoughtful design, with a top that stays in place when you fold down the nose cover. However, several customers find the fit too tight, while it can also be too large for some: take care when choosing between the two available sizes.
