The Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Flex Balaclava shows off its muscle when that gnarly winter storm hits. Full neck coverage keeps you covered when you’re reaching for that next pitch while a snug fit lets you comfortably wear this balaclava under your hood or helmet. Weighing just 2oz, the windproof, breathable Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Flex Balaclava helps keep things light during that first ascent.

Bottom Line: Don’t bend to the whims of winter weather.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Too loose

By:

I tried this skiing recently and found the fit just way too loose. Granted, it was 1 degree and 20-30mph winds, but that's exactly what I purchased it for. With the loose fit combined with the holes, I was freezing. With a tighter fit on the face I think it would have been awesome.

Does this have ear holes? I would like to find a face mask or balaclava that does not impede my hearing much. Thanks

There aren't actual ear holes. There are patches of lycra instead of windstopper material so your hearing won't be as much a problem.

This balaclava does exactly what it's suppose to do. It breathes well. It blocks out every bit of wind. It moves well. It is very easy to put on and remove. There's not a lot more I was expecting. It's definitely worth the dough! I am very happy with this purchase.

This balaclava is made of windstopper fleece from Gore. It will block the wind completely and deflect cold winds for sure. Enjoy!
