I ordered this baclava for some winter mountaineering in northern Japan. The baclava is made of solid windstopper material and feels pretty bomber. That being said, I'm not a huge fan. Its hard to explain, but the fit just feels awkward. When you close the velcro closure, it feels like the baclava is lop-sided on your head with the opening covering more of one side of your face than the other. Other than that, it does it does the job. I think I would probably like a "stretchy" pullover type baclava better. But, I won't be rushing out to find a replacement.
