Why We Like The Solid Hood Balaclava
As we're bombing down the mountain, laying first tracks, the Solid Hood Balaclava shields our face from the chapping wind. At the end of our run, we use the lens-safe fabric to wipe the powder off our goggles. This face mask might be washer- and dryer-friendly, but the odor-fighting tech lets us put off washday.

Balaclava
Bought this one just because I wanted another. Love them. Fits great, breathable, and warm. All I’ll be using from now on

Very good product
Works really well and the double layering keeps it drier. Fits under a helmet well.

Love this thing!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Really impressed with how breathable it is. Moisture didn’t build up and freeze on my face. It stays relatively dry but retains warmth as well. I’ll probably buy more in other colors. Highly recommend.

Nice
It fits great and I like face covering design. Of course it's been warm since I bought it so I've only used it a couple times but so far so good

True facial warmth!
I got it towards the end of the season, so I haven’t gotten to use it yet, but my husband has one and I have been jealous of it for quite a while. It fits great; is comfortable and I know it will be nice to have for the cold days!

New Balaclava
Love the Balaclava. The color (granite) and the material. Just the right weight. Comfortable. Versatile (can take the lower part hinge down over the neck). Exactly what I was looking for.

Imma Be Honest
I got this for my fursuit since it matches the color of the inside of the sonas mouth. And it's perfect, it's lightweight, comfortable and I do still have yet to see how it holds up to more than just chilling. But I have good faith in it. Its woeth every penny compared to cheaper hoods, and ill probably get more for my more normal cosplays, like my plague doctor, wearing armour, etc.

Perfect for skiing!
The fabric feels thin, but it is very warm. It is the perfect weight for skiing, keeps your face warm and protected from the wind. Feels a little cold sitting on the ski lift, but that happens no matter what!

bad features
Bought it, not happy. So much glazing for a product that doesn't really give what it says. I got the largest one I could but it was still rather tight. Textile infront of the mouth is very thick, making it hard to breath, doesn't give enough oxygen when doing anything slightly more straining than standing still. The tightness comes in handy when the mask gets wet, since it only gets wet infront of the mouth and nose. Although using the mask for an extendedamount of time will cause the wetness to spread, the mask will freeze and therefore freeze your face too. Back to the thick mouth fabric, it doesn't let breath out, combined with the tightness of the mask makes so that goggles can't push the mask around your nose. So the goggles fog up really easily. Atleast it can keep you warm and it's easy to pull down so you can breath properly. I swear to god I could sew my own mask and it'll work way better than this.
