Great for alpine climbing but also superb for skiing and snowboarding, this Power Stretch® Balaclava provides excellent face and neck coverage in cold conditions. It features four-way stretch Polartec® fleece with a brushed, bi-component construction that does double duty both as a source of insulation and a moisture-transfer base layer. The construction is intentionally snug to comfortably fit beneath all but the tightest helmet configurations.
Fit Tip: This Balaclava fits snug I normally wear a medium sized hat. The open area runs from halfway up your nose to the top of your eyebrow
Good job
Perfect for snowboarding.
I recently climbed Mt. Whitney with this on and it did just as good as more expensive balaclavas I've bought.
Great
Not too bulky, but feels cozy. I love it.
Just what I was looking for
Not overly think. Does not smush your nose. Thin enough to be worn under a visor.

wont ski without one
Once you've worn this thin balaclava on the slopes you'll recommend them to everyone. They keep all the cold and wet off your face and head, I wont ski without one anymore
This product does what it claims
I bought this to keep me warm on chilly days when I take my motorcycle to work.
It is lightweight and real warm. I highly recommend this product.
Great Feel
This is a great balaclava with typical Mt. Hardware quality. I used this balaclava this winter for climbing, backpacking and snowshoeing. I would highly recommend this product.
Great
It's a very good product. I've used it in different situations and I have worked absolutely perfect. First of all, its size is OK and it fits exactly.
GREAT BALACLAVA
Warm balaclava.Fits and work under helmet well.
Serious balaclava
I've just bought this balaclava and was fortunate to give it a good test on a recent walk - its fabric is extremely warm yet thin enough to allow a hat to be worn over it - by pulling the head portion back off your head it also acts as a neck gaiter - great item - looks trendy too with the big nut logo of mountain hardwear
Lightweight Warmth
This balaclava is pure performance. Light, warm, wind resistant and most importantly it keeps you dry.
soft and tough
thats the softest balaclava ive got so far. the fit is perfect for me and since it is strechty i think it would fit anyone. unlike some other balaclavas i had before mt hardwear is one piece, no sewing to bother you. even tough the fabric is very thin i was amazed how well it performed in the windy white mountain of new hampshire. happy customer here!!!
A great balaclava
This low bulk balaclava should work great alone or under a helmet. I bought it to replace my 200wt balaclava as it did not fit under my helmet well. The thin Power Stretch conforms nicely to my head with very little noncontact areas around my face. My only concern is the thinness might cause problems at high altitudes when not wearing a helmet to help trap the heat (but a Micro Dome Beanie should fit under it well enough). -I'll have to report back after next year's trip to Orizaba. In the mean time...this hat is going to the Alps for some great climbing!
Good stuff
Very warm and breathable. Would recomend to anyone looking for a nice lightweight Balaclava.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT
This item is excellent. Very durable, warm, lives up to the mountain hardware name. The added stretch helps to get the perfect fit
Winter commodity.
It is very warm. Good product. this product is very low in price.
Very warm
This is a great Balaclava. The warmth to wieght ratio is superb. I wore this on my latest snow camping trip while sleeping and was perfectly comfortble. This balaclava will definately accompany me on every excersion.
Fits under helmet
Fits very comfortably under my cycling helmet. Adequate warmth even for the ears so far, but haven't tested it any colder than 10 deg F.
