Minus33 Merino Wool - Expedition Balaclava - Cold Weather Ski Face Mask - Heavyweight

The thickness of this balaclava was great! Had a couples tours up in northern Norway and it kept me warm and free from any windburn. I have a relatively small head and it still fit well. Glad I purchased it.

I’ve been really happy with this balaclava from Minus33. One of the biggest improvements over my old one is that they stopped using the laced embroidered logo on the neck area. On my previous balaclava, that logo would constantly rub and irritate my neck, which drove me crazy on longer wear. This new version is smooth and comfortable all the way around. The fit is great, even for my big head, it’s snug without feeling tight, and it doesn’t distort or pull awkwardly when I move. It layers easily under a helmet or hood, too. I also really like how compact it is. When I’m not wearing it, I can just roll it up and stash it in my coat pocket and forget it’s there until I need it. Warm, comfortable, and easy to carry, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.

My husband is a welder and this is perfect under his welders hood for outside work. Soft and comfortable and super warm.

Very heavy and warm! Does the job well and excellent quality! Will last!

Best around. Easy to wash and wring. Breathable but will collect condensation around the upper lip, underside of nose. Just wipe off. Keeps warm without staying too warm. Shields from a slice of chilly wind very well. Can breathe through, even when breathing hard. Doesnt smell/taste off. Feels and tastes natural. Good coverage. Good stitching. Good form. Good elasticity. Holds shape, even over time. Seals around the opening. Perspiration doesnt mildew if not able to wash it right away. Very pleased with quality and product.

Excellent quality and very comfortable.

My go-to favorite baclava. I love merino wool. Very breathable, soft, warm, comfortable. When I don’t have it over my face I fold it back and use it as a hat or as a hat liner under a stocking cap or under my cowboy hat. Machine washable and durable.

Great balaclava, comfortable and warm. Pairs exceptionally well with the cuff beanie for very cold weather.

This is the thickest balaclava that Minus33 offers and it's still very thin. Still it is wool so it is warmer than you'd expect. Not warm enough for minus 33 temperatures but it is very comfortable, soft and adequately warm.

Used it for snowboarding and ice fishing. Kept my face really warm and the merino wool kept it from having that smell you typically get from a cotton balaclava. It's pretty thin, but it was still really good at insulating my face. I haven't used it for anything past -15 however.

Really liked the snug fit, closes over the ears & stays in position. Very warm & protective. Even the coldest days I was warm & comfortable.

Thinner than I expected. It does seem like it is well made... But our for our Canadian winters it could be thicker and warmer. I will be keeping it though. I may have to add more layers to make sure I'm warm.

perfect to wear in cold weather
