Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Balaclava
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.
- Moisture-wicking Polartec® Power Stretch® fabric
- Fits beneath most helmets and hoods
- Lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship
- Weight: 2 oz. (57 g.)

James Wagner - 2009-06-01Good 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.
phillip stokoe - 2008-09-07Great
Not too bulky, but feels cozy. I love it.
phil - 2008-08-30Just what I was looking for
Not overly think. Does not smush your nose. Thin enough to be worn under a visor.

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
Jess - 2007-10-28This 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.
Todd Rose - 2007-04-29Great 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.

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.

Warm balaclava.Fits and work under helmet well.
Keith O - 2006-03-13Serious 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
Nathaniel Shedd - 2006-01-08Lightweight Warmth
This balaclava is pure performance. Light, warm, wind resistant and most importantly it keeps you dry.
Anonymous - 2006-01-03soft 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!!!
Anonymous - 2005-05-18A 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!

Anonymous - 2005-01-05Fits 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.
