BLACKSTRAP Hood Balaclava Face Mask, Dual Layer Cold Weather Headwear for Men and Women

Great quality. I’ve had a Serius and Columbia balaclava for the same price, but the Blackstrap is way superior in quality, comfort, design, and fit. Especially as the other two had small breathing holes/perforations near the mouth. Had to buy this one to use while snowboarding at the resorts to also function as my face mask as I did t want to wear another mask under my other options. I have 2 already for kids which they have used for skiing for the past couple years and love.

Im an average size woman and this balaclava worked beautifully for my needs. I tried the tubes but between my hair and my glasses I felt like I was always tugging it up. Since this goes over the top of the head it stays put. I use it for snowshoeing so Im getting my heart rate and breathing up and I was able to breath without issue.

Worked very well for skiing during Covid-19 times, while staying warm (tested up to about -5C). It does work better using a ski mask rather ski sun glasses, as the mask helps keep the fabric in place above the nose.

I own 2 of these balaclavas. They are uniquely constructed so that the face part will easily pull under your chin or over your nose. The fabric is very smooth and feels good on my neck and face. The neck is long enough to go under my jacket collier. I especially like how the top will pull back and I can put on my glasses that have a strap on them and then pull the top back over my head without messing up my glasses. I wear it while skiing and also cycling.

Skiing. Probably prefer merino on the skin

This fits very well and even works under a helmet. The fit is snug, yet not suffocating. I didnt use it a lot on my week-long snowboarding trip due to unseasonably warm weather. Fortunately this easily folds up to slide into a pocket when not in use.

It’s great! You absolutely get what you pay for. Fits snug, but not too snug. Fits under my helmet. However, it is NOT anti-lens fog like it claims to be. That is why i gave it 4/5

I work outside all winter long and this is the best on the market, comfortable looks good too.

Hood is warm but pretty thin. Best feature is that when is gets wet/sweaty is doesnt sag like other balaclavas. The side portions can cause hotspots on the ears if a helmet is worn

It is still able to keep my head warm and dry from sweat. The functionality of the mouth cover works perfect.
