Where to buy Icebreaker Merino Oasis Balaclava:
Icebreaker Merino Oasis Balaclava Product

The Icebreaker Merino Oasis Balaclava is a packable, lightweight balaclava that packs a punch on the coldest of days. Combining an innovative design with one of the most reliable fabrics known to man, this balaclava is a highly functional piece of headwear that any winter recreationalist should consider.

The overlapped opening used on the Merino Oasis is similar to that of the Blackstrap and KasterKing Balaclavas. Not only does this add an extra layer of protection to high exposure areas, but it allows the facemask to hinge up or down more easily and creates added comfort when the facemask is down.

Made from natural materials, merino wool is an excellent alternative to petrochemical synthetics and comes with a whole lot of built-in features. In addition to coming from the natural world, wool breathes well, wicks moisture, provides excellent warmth even when wet, it dries quickly, and is naturally odor-resistant!
