Expedition Balaclava - Cold Weather Ski Face Mask - Heavyweight

The thickness of this balaclava was great! Had a couples tours up in northern Norway and it kept me warm and free from any windburn. I have a relatively small head and it still fit well. Glad I purchased it.

I’ve been really happy with this balaclava from Minus33. One of the biggest improvements over my old one is that they stopped using the laced embroidered logo on the neck area. On my previous balaclava, that logo would constantly rub and irritate my neck, which drove me crazy on longer wear. This new version is smooth and comfortable all the way around. The fit is great, even for my big head, it’s snug without feeling tight, and it doesn’t distort or pull awkwardly when I move. It layers easily under a helmet or hood, too. I also really like how compact it is. When I’m not wearing it, I can just roll it up and stash it in my coat pocket and forget it’s there until I need it. Warm, comfortable, and easy to carry, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.

This balaclava worked wonderfully in Yellowknife Canada! The temperature ranged from - 35 to - 17 degrees and when I put it on, my face was stayed warm. It was large enough to pull over my head, even with a ponytail. It was not tight and I felt comfortable with it on. I was also able to take it off quickly for pictures. It is a keeper!

My husband is a welder and this is perfect under his welders hood for outside work. Soft and comfortable and super warm.

Best around. Easy to wash and wring. Breathable but will collect condensation around the upper lip, underside of nose. Just wipe off. Keeps warm without staying too warm. Shields from a slice of chilly wind very well. Can breathe through, even when breathing hard. Doesnt smell/taste off. Feels and tastes natural. Good coverage. Good stitching. Good form. Good elasticity. Holds shape, even over time. Seals around the opening. Perspiration doesnt mildew if not able to wash it right away. Very pleased with quality and product.

Very heavy and warm! Does the job well and excellent quality! Will last!

My go-to favorite baclava. I love merino wool. Very breathable, soft, warm, comfortable. When I don’t have it over my face I fold it back and use it as a hat or as a hat liner under a stocking cap or under my cowboy hat. Machine washable and durable.

I bought for high altitude mountaineering. I used this in a few very cold, windy, blizzard like conditions. It kept me warm but the face is super baggy. It doesn’t fit nice and snug around my nose or mouth. Its very disappointing because I like this company a lot and think they make a quality product. I’m a 210lb man, size large hat, so I don’t have a small head.
