Why We Like The Expedition Hood Balaclava

We like covering up in BlackStrap's Expedition Hood Balaclava for solidly reliable coverage regardless of what the alpine weather's up to. Its dual-layer construction enhances weather protection from snow, wind, and cold, and the fabric maximizes sun protection.

Good for first layer
Got this hoping it would be warm enough to be the only layer during Montana’s extreme winter days (-20s and -30s), but it’s not. Great if worn under other layers while moving snow, altho I found it hard to breathe during heavy exercise (snowblowing and shoveling), so had to pull the mouth/chin cover down. If someone made an insulated GoreTex hood like this it would be ideal for this climate!

To small for big heads
It’s warm and well designed. It’s just too small for a guy with a big head. If you wear a 7 5/8 or larger this will give you a headache.

Sweat stains
Love these hoods! I had to take away a star because the sweat stains for my kiddos in the blue ones are not coming out!

Balaclava works great!
This mask still keeps you warm even when it is a little bit damp unlike other ones I have tried!

Warm and Toasty, but a little tight
It kept me warm and toasty on a windy 5 degree walk in Montana! I wish it were a bit roomier in the mid-section. The fabric kept bunching up into my mouth whenever I talked to my walking buddy.

Stayed plenty warm for my first winter vacation!
The comfort and warmth of this product is top notch. I am from the south and went to Colorado for a first ever winter sports vacation. We were very concerned about staying warm and comfy. Not to worry, this balaclava kept us in the game all day without fail!! Looking forward to trying more gear from Blackstrap.
