Why We Like The Solid Hood Balaclava
As we're bombing down the mountain, laying first tracks, the Solid Hood Balaclava shields our face from the chapping wind. At the end of our run, we use the lens-safe fabric to wipe the powder off our goggles. This face mask might be washer- and dryer-friendly, but the odor-fighting tech lets us put off washday.

Spandex White Balaclava Hood
This is my second balaclava. I have tried multiple other products and the Blackstrap hood is still my go to. It’s plenty warm, very breathable, and doesn’t seem to ice up. It’s perfect for cold days and can be layered under an outer hood when it’s brutally cold. Also is easily washable so it has no smell

Initial impression - too tight
We have a different brand of a similar style hooded balaclava but didn’t enjoy feeling like our faces were smashed. BS’s design looked to be more comfortable so we all bought one. But the material and fit is even tighter! I’m not sure where they thought it was going to go and why it would possibly need to be so tight. I’m currently pretty disappointed but we’ll use them and see if they work and I’ll update this review as the season continues.

Lost but not forgotten
4 years ago I bought a Blackstrap whilst in Canada and unfortunately towards the end of that trip I lost it. So now I'm heading to Japan for some snow and just had to get another. One of the best purchases I made for the snow.

Love MyBlackStrap Balaclava
Keeps the snow off of my face, breezes off my neck, and folds down nicely for eating and drinking.

Nice product. Needs more sizes.
Good material, well made. Unfortunately the one size fits most puts me in the "not most" category. It is too tight on me.
