BLACKSTRAP Hood Balaclava Face Mask – Cold Weather Ski Mask, Breathable, Moisture-Wicking, and Helmet-Compatible

Super comfortable and keeps me warm without feeling too hot or sweating inside. Excellent moisture wicking. Compared to all other options I tried in the past, this does not cause fogging in my goggles and does not leave that clammy feel around the mouth area due to trapped breath. It stretches well and retains its elasticity after 2 seasons of heavy use. I often use it to cover just my mouth and leave my nostrils exposed to allow for easier breathing. Pulling it down over the chin to talk with folks and back up is super easy. It also looks great as its not bulky. Highly recommend and price is worth it for long term value.

This ski mask is both practical and comfortable, making it a great choice for cold weather and outdoor activities. The material is soft yet durable, providing warmth without feeling bulky. It fits snugly but still allows for easy breathing for any activity. depending on the style, it may not block wind completely on extremely cold days, so layering with a hood or helmet helps. Overall, it’s a reliable and versatile winter accessory—perfect for staying warm and protected outdoors.

EDIT: Year two of using these and I’m still in love with them. I have 3 different ones now. They’ve held up so well to many ski trips and they keep my sensitive ears warm and protected. I just wash them on cold and hang dry them to ensure they stay in good shape. First time using a blackstrap balaclava and I absolutely love it. The material feels so high quality and nice. It fits really nicely on my head (I wear a size large ski helmet.) I love how easily you can pull the mouth piece up and down, it’s great for Covid too as the mouth part has a double layer. The mouth part has a meshy type layer on the inside which really helps keep it from sticking to your face when it gets all moist from your breath. It kept the cold wind off my face really nicely. Great for day and evening skiing. If I was gonna go night skiing on a really cold night I might get the thicker version of this for extra warmth. This regular thickness one still kept me warm too tho. I’m definitely going to eventually buy a couple of these in different colors. Really worth the price and I love all the awesome colors and patterns.

Got this to replace my fleece balaclava that went over my helmet. I was looking for something with a slimmer profile for under my helmet that would keep me warm, but breathe better and this one seems to be the winner. I consider myself to have a small head so I was worried that it would be too loose but the fit is just right; snug but not suffocating. The coverage is great and while the fabric is lightweight it keeps my face warm when the wind picks up.

Product is great, fits well, one size fits most, good stitching, comfortable and sleek. We have purchased this brand before and they are worth the price point. The versatility is great, with options of how you wear. Very cool color options and material is sturdy and vibrant. I do wish it hadn't come in a see-through, unsealed, plastic bag. The open packaging not only is a risk for theft or loss but it feels dirty upon arrival.

Great ski mask for snowboarding, I had to buy this again since I dropped mine at the ski resort and some bum stole it after 2 seconds after dropping it, looks like they like the ski mask too. Other than that, is great and keeps ur face warm on cold and windy days at the resort and is breathable when u put it over ur nose u dont feel like u are suffocating when hitting those features.

Bought this for a preteen for his Christmas present. He is a snowboarder, and this was the brand and design print that he wanted. He was super excited when he opened it on Christmas. The design print is colorful, bright, and looks exactly like pictured in the product page. It looks well-made with straight stitching and no pulling of the fabric. I’m sure he will enjoy this for many years to come.

Very warm! I purchased this to work in my barn when the temperature is below freezing. It's worked great to protect my face from the wind and cold when I'm outside for hours and it's well below zero. Also very comfortable.

Very comfortable and warm. Also, versatile in the way it could be worn. My favorite facemask by far.

Since I'm spending much more time outdoors, it was really necessary to get a balaclava. My biggest problem was that all the balaclavas that had mouth and nose coverings (where I get cold primarily) were really ugly. It goes without saying that this Blackstrap Balaclava has a bold and beautiful print with my favourite colour, blue! I was a little worried that this would be too thin, but the material is fantastic at keeping you warm. It’s super comfortable and not too tight or thick, but still keeps the cold out. As a glasses wearer the only issue is glasses fog, but that’s not really the balaclava’s fault. I was glad I spent the extra money for a reputable brand and good looking design!

These are an absolute game changer. It completely eliminates the need for a neck gaiter (sorry, Turtle Fur), and makes it a lot more comfortable as it doesn’t feel as constricting and bunched up like how a neck gaiter often feels. I liked it so much that I even got a second one for my sister, and she too, absolutely loves it as much as I do. Not only is it pretty stylish, but it is surprisingly warm, especially considering how thin it is. I honestly cannot say enough good things.

These balaclavas are made of swimsuit material. I can't believe some people were recommending them for winter. There is zero insulation elements in them, and if you don't use a neck-warmer, you will get cold in it very soon. Having "BS" written on your face is another disadvantage - couldn't they come up with a better label? Other than that, the quality and styles are nice. I am satisfied and will wear it with a neck warmer underneath. I got it for $30 which was acceptable for this balaclava. However, most of them are sold for over $50 on amazon, and they are not worth these money.

Fit well for someone with a large head, on a -29C day was all I needed, kept my head, face and neck warm.
