Review on 🧣 The Friendly Swede Balaclava Face Mask: Unbeatable Protection and Versatility with Neck Gaiter Bandana (Standard/Nordic/Arctic) by Stanley Molden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing Swedish about it

Item arrived marked Made in China. I was surprised by the company's name and the fact that the balaclava's promotional photos showed people with 'Swedish looks' (for lack of a better term). It seems to me that the Friendly Swede is trying to exploit Sweden's cache using Chinese workers. On their website, they are very vague about exactly where their products are made (they refer to "long-term trusted partners in Asia", without mentioning China). I ended up sending it back and buying a Blackstrap American made balaclava which was only marginally more expensive.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • The list will be long.
