Winter Thermal Sherpa Fleece Balaclava Scarf Ski Face Mask– Ultimate Winter Protection Windproof, Plush & Ultra-Warm for Cycling, Skiing & Outdoor Adventures

Your face, neck and ears stay warm on the coldest ride or run

You already own a warm jacket. The part that makes you feel cold is the strip between your collar and your hat: the back of your neck, your ears, your jaw, the front of your throat. This is one piece of plush sherpa fleece that covers all of it at once, a balaclava and a scarf in one, with nothing to tuck in and nothing to keep re-wrapping. Pull the flap up over your nose and the cold stays outside.

One piece, so the draft has nowhere to get in

A lot of winter face gear is a system: a gaiter, plus a hat, plus a hood, and three seams where the cold gets in. This is a single garment. A rounded hood at the top, a soft flap at the front that folds up over your chin, mouth and nose, and a wide bib that spreads down over your neck, shoulders and collarbones and tucks under your coat.

Two thin drawcords run through it, each held by a small metal barrel toggle, one around the face opening and one lower on the bib. Push the toggle, slide it, let go. That is the entire adjustment, and with no zip, velcro or buckle to freeze, jam or catch your hair, it works just as well with gloves on.

Three positions, and you will use all three in one afternoon

• Collar. Hood pushed back off your head, front flap folded down. The bib sits around your neck and over your shoulders like a thick soft cowl. Wear it indoors, driving, or walking into a store.
• Half mask. Hood still back, front flap lifted up over your chin, mouth and nose. Your head is free, your face is covered. This is the one for shoveling the drive.
• Full coverage. Hood up as well. Everything but your eyes is under fleece. Pull the face cord in and the opening closes down around them.

Made for the helmet. The hood is soft and unstructured rather than padded, so it compresses flat and slips under a bike or ski helmet, exactly as it is photographed here. Put it on, fit your helmet over the top, and ride.

Blocks the wind, holds the warmth

Two layers of pile hold a thick cushion of still air around your head and neck, and still air is what keeps you warm. A dense curly sherpa outside and a smooth fleece inside, with a seam between them, make the wind work hard to get through, and the two drawcords close down the openings at your face and under your coat, where cold air usually finds its way in. Sealing those gaps does as much work as the fabric does.

Buyers say it better than we can: “Blocks wind like a champ.” “Blocks the wind perfectly!” “My face stayed warm the entire time.” For the lift ride and the headwind descent, it is the warm layer you reach for first.

One size, cut generously for adults

A single size cut for adults, men and women. Laid flat, the hood measures about 13 in (33 cm) from the front edge to the back, and the whole garment is about 21 in (54 cm) from the crown of the hood to the lowest point of the bib. The fleece has some give and both drawcords take up slack, so it lands between snug and roomy on most adult heads. Wear your hair down or in a low bun for the smoothest fit under the hood, and the roomy bib drapes over your chest and shoulders like a soft cowl.
