The Blackstrap The Hood Balaclava is a tried and true classic, keeping the stoke alive (and warmth, for that matter) for the last decade plus.
Built from Blackstrap’s TREO fabric technology, The Hood Balaclava not only offers premium breathability and thermal regulation but is abrasion and freeze-resistant. PERFA dual-layer mesh lining is added to areas that are more susceptible to a beating from the elements, creating yet another line of defense for all of your cold-weather endeavors.
Patented Exohinge tech allows the facemask portion of the balaclava to hinge up and down with ease, and the helmet-friendly ergonomic fit makes this a must have for skiers, snowboarders, and sledders alike.
A go-to for all winter recreationalists, The Hood Balaclava is the quiver killer that you need whether you’re ripping laps all day or just need to stay warm on your snow-machine while commuting to your favorite pow stash.
