Minus33 Merino Wool - Expedition Balaclava - Cold Weather Ski Face Mask - Heavyweight

Performed as promised! We love this brand! We took a vacation north of the Artic Circle and these face masks were life savers on all of our excursions. From dog sledding, Reindeer sledding and chasing the northern lights! They kept our faces warm and protected from the sun, wind and blistery weather. They were soft to our skin and did not cause us to perspire. One size fit my husband and me. We would definitely recommend these masks and have them washed and ready for our next adventure. My only request would be if they came in fun colors that would be a bonus!

I’ve been really happy with this balaclava from Minus33. One of the biggest improvements over my old one is that they stopped using the laced embroidered logo on the neck area. On my previous balaclava, that logo would constantly rub and irritate my neck, which drove me crazy on longer wear. This new version is smooth and comfortable all the way around. The fit is great, even for my big head, it’s snug without feeling tight, and it doesn’t distort or pull awkwardly when I move. It layers easily under a helmet or hood, too. I also really like how compact it is. When I’m not wearing it, I can just roll it up and stash it in my coat pocket and forget it’s there until I need it. Warm, comfortable, and easy to carry, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.

The thickness of this balaclava was great! Had a couples tours up in northern Norway and it kept me warm and free from any windburn. I have a relatively small head and it still fit well. Glad I purchased it.

This balaclava worked wonderfully in Yellowknife Canada! The temperature ranged from - 35 to - 17 degrees and when I put it on, my face was stayed warm. It was large enough to pull over my head, even with a ponytail. It was not tight and I felt comfortable with it on. I was also able to take it off quickly for pictures. It is a keeper!

Best around. Easy to wash and wring. Breathable but will collect condensation around the upper lip, underside of nose. Just wipe off. Keeps warm without staying too warm. Shields from a slice of chilly wind very well. Can breathe through, even when breathing hard. Doesnt smell/taste off. Feels and tastes natural. Good coverage. Good stitching. Good form. Good elasticity. Holds shape, even over time. Seals around the opening. Perspiration doesnt mildew if not able to wash it right away. Very pleased with quality and product.

Keeps me warm. Not heavy or itchy. I just throw it in the washing machine on warm and air dry. Not something I have to wear that often but I really like it when I have to wear it. Would recommend

Very heavy and warm! Does the job well and excellent quality! Will last!

My go-to favorite baclava. I love merino wool. Very breathable, soft, warm, comfortable. When I don’t have it over my face I fold it back and use it as a hat or as a hat liner under a stocking cap or under my cowboy hat. Machine washable and durable.

Used it for snowboarding and ice fishing. Kept my face really warm and the merino wool kept it from having that smell you typically get from a cotton balaclava. It's pretty thin, but it was still really good at insulating my face. I haven't used it for anything past -15 however.

This is the thickest balaclava that Minus33 offers and it's still very thin. Still it is wool so it is warmer than you'd expect. Not warm enough for minus 33 temperatures but it is very comfortable, soft and adequately warm.

Good product

Fits my 4 year old!! Love it. Its not super warm but good for fall chills. It is a little too expensive for what it is and this is why i am taking a star off.

Perfect balaclava for extreme cold weather and travel. Merino wool is a far superior material than standard polyester and the construction of this one is excellent. The price is better than alternative offerings too.
