Enjoying mid-winter storm shredding means staying warm and dry, and the Merino Sport Fleece Hinged Balaclava is a key layer of defense for powder riding.

Not a fan of the hinge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to return the balaclava because it did not cover my ears. Not a fan of the hinge.

Of course this is always in the ski bag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Skiing under my helmet, but on top of my Smartwool training beanie on really cold ones. I teach skiing so I'm in the weather as many as 6 hours a day.

Good Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Played ice hockey outdoors in 0 degree weather with windchill. This kept my ears warm, and my cheeks.

Too Small; Hinge Too Deep
I commute by bike in temps that dip into the negatives, so I wanted a balaclava that fits comfortably under my helmet. The hinge seemed like a nice feature so I could pull down the face mask if not needed - but it extends so far back as to partially expose my ears. Look at the model photo and you can see how wind would blow right in; also note how tightly it fits across his nose and mouth. This product is a miss for me and I'll have to keep looking.

Best value!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased as a gift for a nephew who wanted a merino balaclava with a hinged face section. The only other one I found anywhere online was $10 more and cost 3X as much in shipping. Smartwool for the win. #sweepstakes

Not for me
Felt too tight on my face... and contrary to popular opinion, my face is not THAT big. Basically, felt a little tight.

Best Balaclava I've Ever Had!!
Very warm when biking, walking or snowshoeing in cold temperatures, then pull the top down and acts like a scarf! Highly recommend!!

Balaclava Dude Likes it...but
I like this product; especially after a few washes and break in Period. It was -26 F up against the Canadian Border in Northern Minnesota. My only design consideration from somebody who truly values a merino based balaclava.... ***Reverse the hinge so the face portion is on the outside. This allows the most adjustable piece, the face shield, more comfortable and functional as it stays in place better. I reverse this product by turning it inside out. Happy New Year, Balaclava Dude, Ely-MN
