The Breathable Gaiter Weather Bandanas Balaclavas are excellent for outdoor activities in cold weather. Based on my observations, the material is soft and comfortable, while also providing excellent insulation against the wind and cold temperatures .The design IS versatile allowing for it to be worn as a balaclava, neck gaiter, or bandana. The only downside is that it may not fit snugly on smaller children, as the sizing can be a bit large. Overall, a great addition to any boy's cold weather accSee full review
