This one's not intended to be windproof, since it's not supposed to be the outermost layer on your head, but I have a Windstopper hat and gloves and they are practically magical. It's astonishing how well they block wind. If that's a priority and you'll be wearing the balaclava with no hood or helmet, that's probably worth it.
