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.

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!!!

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

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!
