ideal balaclava
I'm a ski instructor, and this is one of my most essential pieces. Lightweight, warm, versatile, and takes longer than most pieces to start stinking. It's always either on my head or in my pocket ready to wear. Highly recommended.

Warm and good material
I like the material and warmth. Slight issue is that it doesn't stay as tight around the nose as I would like. Generally a good product though.
