Review on Snowboarding Protection: Windproof Balaclava for Optimal Safety by Francisco Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product in balaclavas

I dig the rear hinge design on this one. It is more adjustable than traditional balaclavas with an elasticated eye hole. It's thicker, but thicker than I expected - I replaced Alpinestars' balaclava for the winter with this one which has very thin spandex on the head so it fits like a second skin under a motorcycle helmet. This item is absolutely comfortable and fits well, but it is a bit thick compared to my last piece. But what I like best is the neckline, which is narrower than my previous piece so it's more comfortable around the collar of my jacket. I love this part and will get a lot of use out of it.

Pros
  • Switch: wear your balaclava alone, under a hard hat or helmet at work, or as a full face mask, open balaclava, half ski mask, ninja sweatshirt or neck seal. The articulated design makes it easy to put on and take off and adjust conveniently. Just don't wear it at the airport or in the bank!
Cons
  • Slightly torn
