Power Wool™ Balaclava

unique balaclava that functions as a warm baselayer and standalone headwear

By isolating plush merino wool on the inside, Polartec® Power Wool™ harnesses superior climate and moisture control. A unique exterior construction dramatically improves its resilience, while remaining soft, supple and breathable. 

• the highly anatomical thermal-weight solution for crucial cold and sun protection
• hinged mask design fits comfortably and securely in any position, from full coverage just below your eyes, to below your mouth, to below your chin
• tapered design eliminates needless bulk with a streamlined yet unrestricted fit that harmonizes with other layers, complete with a minimal contoured hem
• elastic, low-profile construction

Merino wool's marvelous climate regulating properties evolved from the dramatic temperature variation the sheep endure, making for headwear that can stand up to extreme cold without being uncomfortable in warmer conditions. Its superior hygroscopic structure also manages moisture more effectively than any other fiber, absorbing up to a third of its weight without feeling damp.
