Keep the wind out and your ears warm with the Windproof Balaclava
The Windproof Balaclava cuts wind chill without trapping heat against the face during hard efforts. Windstopper technology by GORE-TEX blocks wind while laser-cut breathing holes let hot air escape, so it works as hard on a fast descent as it does standing still in the cold. A seamless, streamlined construction sits flat under a helmet or goggles instead of bunching at the seams. The fabric holds 52% recycled content, cutting down on new material without cutting corners on performance.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I pushed hard on a climb expecting to overheat with a balaclava on, and the breathing holes did their job. My goggles never fogged, even once I started sweating on the way up."
