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

These are the best ! Not too warm but just enough to keep wind out of ears and off head. I had no idea these would be so nice as a hat, cap or whatever you want it to be. Wash nicely too.

For skiing this year we are required to wear masks around the load and unload areas. This comes up high enough over my nose with little effort, even with mittens on. It also pulls down super easy when needed. I have other older model BS balaclavas and this version has some extra fabric around the nose and mouth to allow it to have some extra protection and keep ice crystals from forming when breathing, at least in 20 degree temps. I would highly recommend.

100%

Im a woman who purchased this to cover my face during this years brutal winter. Commuting and walking in downtown DC was not fun in the frigid temperatures and I hated having to constantly wipe my drippy nose. This balaclava hood was the perfect solution. The poka dot color was feminine and unassuming enough so that folks would not be frightened that I was about to hold them up :) Happy with my purchase!

Too thin, cold ... Also this material causes the helmet to slide around. Its too slippery and no friction when wearing a helmet causing it to bounce and hit my goggles. Also I have doubts about the sunblock sun-proof capabilities... Still get sunburned.

I have to run with my mouth covered for any temp under 50 degrees. This by far is the best for my runs in cold weather. Stays up, covers my mouth, neck, and ears... Be careful if you wear glasses because they can fog up (but glasses wearers are used to that...). Want to get another one soon!

Awesome

I wore it this week during my snowboarding vacation. Great product and will recommend to others.

Superb hood from blackstrap. All my family members have one ( in addition to a thicker option as well) This is not an insulating hood, is meant as a lightly warming / spring protection on its own but is a perfect mid to cold temp under-helmet hood/mask. Takes a good bite out of chilly winds for sure. Hinge function makes it easy to adjust cover to over mouth, over nose, on chin only or neck only. Have several and all have held up perfect in seams and colors. Very recommendable - boarding and skiing!

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
