Enjoying mid-winter storm shredding means staying warm and dry, and the Merino Sport Fleece Hinged Balaclava is a key layer of defense for powder riding. The merino wool construction regulates our temperature to keep us warm, and simultaneously wicks moisture to ensure we stay dry while working hard.

Not a fan of the hinge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to return the balaclava because it did not cover my ears. Not a fan of the hinge.

Of course this is always in the ski bag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Skiing under my helmet, but on top of my Smartwool training beanie on really cold ones. I teach skiing so I'm in the weather as many as 6 hours a day.

Good Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Played ice hockey outdoors in 0 degree weather with windchill. This kept my ears warm, and my cheeks.

Too Small; Hinge Too Deep
I commute by bike in temps that dip into the negatives, so I wanted a balaclava that fits comfortably under my helmet. The hinge seemed like a nice feature so I could pull down the face mask if not needed - but it extends so far back as to partially expose my ears. Look at the model photo and you can see how wind would blow right in; also note how tightly it fits across his nose and mouth. This product is a miss for me and I'll have to keep looking.

Best value!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased as a gift for a nephew who wanted a merino balaclava with a hinged face section. The only other one I found anywhere online was $10 more and cost 3X as much in shipping. Smartwool for the win. #sweepstakes

Not for me
Felt too tight on my face... and contrary to popular opinion, my face is not THAT big. Basically, felt a little tight.

Best Balaclava I've Ever Had!!
Very warm when biking, walking or snowshoeing in cold temperatures, then pull the top down and acts like a scarf! Highly recommend!!

Balaclava Dude Likes it...but
I like this product; especially after a few washes and break in Period. It was -26 F up against the Canadian Border in Northern Minnesota. My only design consideration from somebody who truly values a merino based balaclava.... ***Reverse the hinge so the face portion is on the outside. This allows the most adjustable piece, the face shield, more comfortable and functional as it stays in place better. I reverse this product by turning it inside out. Happy New Year, Balaclava Dude, Ely-MN
