Review on πŸ”₯ Stay Warm and Versatile with BUFF Adult ThermoNet Hinged Balaclava by Lawrence Crespo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

wanted to love in men

I've been a fan of the Buff brand for years and was excited to try this balaclava because I could really use something like this in the winter to keep my face and neck warm. This piece comes in retail packaging on a hanging cardboard piece shaped like a face silhouette so you can get a feel for what it looks like before taking it out of the box. Basically, it's a smart design. The fabric is pleasant to the touch (a kind of Primaloft material), elastic. It has a flap at the back so people with ponytails can pull their hair through. My favorite part is the part that fits over the mouth - big holes for breathing so ice doesn't build up there. Everything is mostly good. The part I'm not crazy about is the nose. It has no shape/structure over the nose so it doesn't form a seal over the tip of the nose like a mask might. The fabric is very tight because it needs to keep air/wind out, so the part that goes over the nose is too tight and doesn't conform to the shape of your nose, which is very uncomfortable. The nose is the decisive criterion for me. I think other than that it's a good thing and it might work for others but not for me.

Pros
  • It's amazing
