Special order items take longer to ship

We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Would buy again Has wider eye opening than others which make it less troublesome with googles.
Date published: 2022-01-27
Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of best purchases I ever made! Really have loved this since I bought my first one years ago, so now I am getting another one. (In between bought one from a different brand, was no comparison, their material pilled up, and they had a very annoying center seam right across the nose and mouth, not the two side seams like the OR.) This thing is so versatile, due to it giving you just enough warmth, yet still being extremely lightweight and thus easy to fit in a pocket, purse, etc. I bought it for watching outdoor football games but last few years it is my go to on the bike trail. In weather from 30F-50F I wear it as a single layer to add just enough warmth, or keep it in my pocket "just in case." In weather from 0F-30F I wear it with a winter hat over the top, and/or a scarf around it, over the face hole. Either way it fits well under the helmet. I really can not do with out it, and was worried what I would do if something ever happened to my original. Thus, I am so happy to see I can get a 2nd one... thanks OR!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good for high exertion I use this balaclava for commuting in the NE. It's the perfect weight for biking below ~25F. Fits under a helmet better than a beanie. One complaint; when worn over the nose, it squishes my nose pretty severely, making it difficult to breath.
Date published: 2021-01-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good, but slighlty tight Like other reviewers have mentioned, the L/XL fits a little tighter than what I think would be ideal. So far I have used it snowboarding under my L size helmet as a thin layer to hold all my hair in place and manage sweat without being too hot, and for that purpose it's great. After a while of wearing it with the helmet on I stopped noticing it being too tight, but at first it feels a little uncomfortable and I could see it being a problem for others with larger heads than mine

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of a kind!! My husband is an avid hunter--in the midwest. He has specific requirements for his balaclava!! There are very few that have the total face exposed like this one!! We misplaced his other balaclava while we were out in Yellowstone on a wolf tracking adventure. He loves it!!! This one specifically drew me to your website!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from runs small! Buyers beware... even the L/XL version of this is SNUG! I'm a 27 yr old female, 125lbs. Not exactly comfortable. I feel like I'm going scuba diving!
Date published: 2020-11-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great head gear My second one of these. Lost the first one at Yellowstone over the winter. Excellent choice for someone who sweats a ton.
Date published: 2020-08-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I would purchas this product again I have a hot head, so this light weight balaclava is ideal. It fits great under my ski helmet, protects the back of my neck and is not to hot on my head. Ideal.
