The Balaclava Full Hinge provides more flexibility than a classic balaclava by splitting the top and bottom sections, giving you 4 masks in 1. The full balaclava seals out the elements whilst the front can hinge down to free your face. Keep the face up and pull down the top for better temperature control or pull it all the way down for a classic neck tube.Waffle Fleece is a lightweight, technical gridded fleece fabric that is moisture wicking and allows air to flow freely to keep you warm and dry. There is also a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating to bead water and prevent the fabric from becoming damp to keep your face dry. The stretchy design remains comfortable all day, all season long.
