Head into mixed conditions with confidence when you wear the Option Balaclava from Outdoor Research. Thermodynamic fabric provides light insulation and excellent moisture movement to keep your noggin and face warm and dry.
- The smooth nylon face stretches and breathes, while the looped polypropylene interior manages perspiration
- Neither cold, dry air, nor your balaclava will abrade your face - comfortable flat seam construction prevents chafing, so you won't end up with that wind- or carpet-burned glow
- Wear as a neck gaiter or a hat when conditions permit; the versatile Option provides enough stretch for either
- Face fabric: nylon
- Liner fabric: polypropylene

Short of getting a full face shield, this is the best way to go. It's warm and fits under a helmet easily. I use this and a MH Alpanista hat for all but the coldest temps. Think of it as layering for your head.

I used this balaclava on Mt. Rainier to protect from the cold while climbing at night and then from the sun while descending during the day. Felt great the entire time, and never took it off even in full sunlight coming down the entire time. Felt great and I will use this on many other hiking and climbing adventures.
