BLACKSTRAPHood Balaclava Face Mask – Cold Weather Ski Mask, Breathable, Moisture-Wicking, and Helmet-Compatible - One Size

EDIT: Year two of using these and I’m still in love with them. I have 3 different ones now. They’ve held up so well to many ski trips and they keep my sensitive ears warm and protected. I just wash them on cold and hang dry them to ensure they stay in good shape.First time using a blackstrap balaclava and I absolutely love it. The material feels so high quality and nice. It fits really nicely on my head (I wear a size large ski helmet.) I love how easily you can pull the mouth piece up and down, it’s great for Covid too as the mouth part has a double layer. The mouth part has a meshy type layer on the inside which really helps keep it from sticking to your face when it gets all moist from your breath. It kept the cold wind off my face really nicely. Great for day and evening skiing. If I was gonna go night skiing on a really cold night I might get the thicker version of this for extra warmth. This regular thickness one still kept me warm too tho. I’m definitely going to eventually buy a couple of these in different colors. Really worth the price and I love all the awesome colors and patterns.

Most of the reviews are related to skiing or coldness weather activities. I bought this to take for lobster mini season in Key West this year (July 2018). Aside from everyone on the boat constantly referring to me as a ninja this product is high quality. In between dives I just popped it on and didn’t have to lather up with sun block constantly. 5 days on the water non stop in and out of the water constantly I needed real sun protection. This hood fits really well, blocks the sun, breathes very well (never felt too hot or smothered), works well with sunglasses for full face, eye and neck protection. Cannot say enough good things about this. I just machine washed it gentle on cold and dried it and it’s like new. Great item in both form and function.

I ordered two of these as Christmas gifts and both have been worn on cold days and being outside. These are warm, not obtrusive, and a great addition to cold outdoor attire!

Fits well, good quality, look forward to using on the slopes

It's a good product for winter activities like skiing. I love the color and the material is a good quality. I purchased it for winter motorcycle trips but noticed that it creates uncomfortable pressure points when under a helmet

Wanted a thin, light, smooth layer under my snow sports helmet to add a bit more warmth on very cold days. Does not put pressure on my ears. It even makes my helmet more comfortable where it covers my ears. Thin enough to not impede hearing. The seams on front sides that connect the face part to head part do not irritate. It washes nicely and dries fast, and seems like it will hold up for many years. I liked that this came in many patterns so I could have lots of choices.

Purchased for my son to use while snowboarding. Works as intended. And holds up well (this is the second color option he has)

It keeps me warm during extreme weather conditions and made to be very flexible.

Since I'm spending much more time outdoors, it was really necessary to get a balaclava. My biggest problem was that all the balaclavas that had mouth and nose coverings (where I get cold primarily) were really ugly.It goes without saying that this Blackstrap Balaclava has a bold and beautiful print with my favourite colour, blue!I was a little worried that this would be too thin, but the material is fantastic at keeping you warm. It’s super comfortable and not too tight or thick, but still keeps the cold out. As a glasses wearer the only issue is glasses fog, but that’s not really the balaclava’s fault. I was glad I spent the extra money for a reputable brand and good looking design!

Like the look and warmth but don’t like the prominent logo.

These balaclavas are made of swimsuit material. I can't believe some people were recommending them for winter. There is zero insulation elements in them, and if you don't use a neck-warmer, you will get cold in it very soon. Having "BS" written on your face is another disadvantage - couldn't they come up with a better label?Other than that, the quality and styles are nice. I am satisfied and will wear it with a neck warmer underneath.I got it for $30 which was acceptable for this balaclava. However, most of them are sold for over $50 on amazon, and they are not worth these money.

très beau et bonne qualité

Fit well for someone with a large head, on a -29C day was all I needed, kept my head, face and neck warm.
