Made with Merino wool that’s soft, comfortable, and naturally odor resistant – this versatile BUFF balaclava is great for spring ski tours and late autumn treks. The breathable single jersey fabric performs across a range of temperatures, dries quickly, and resists light wind. A die-cut mouth port increases airflow. Comfortable as a base layer under a helmet, it can be worn as a hood, over the face, or around the neck.

thicker would be better, in terms of both warmth and convenience
Pros:- merino wool doesn't retain odors- good breathablityCons:- rather thin... meaning not that warm (I've used it as a base layer, in cold weather, with another balaclava and/or hat on top of it)- rather thin... meaning it doesn't hold well when the air you exhale forms a layer of frost on it- mouth opening is small, if you're exercising you need hydrate and breathe heavily, and both are not convenient with such a small openingProbably good for a walk in the cold. Not so much if you plan on being active (skiing, running in <15F weather).I would definitely buy a thicker sturdier version of this item (for $50 instead of the $35 this item cost me, if needed).

Won't work for me
I haven't used it yet, and I will not be using it. It's super thin and it has an opening for your mouth. I don't want a mouth hole. That defeats the purpose of wearing a mask, for me. I need the mask to be a barrier between my lungs and the cold air. I missed the mouth hole in the expanded description. Didn't see it in the online pics, and the pics on the packaging don't show a mouth hole either. Oh well.

I have a small head and this thing is tiny ...
I have a small head and this thing is tiny. The real problem I have with it is, it's cut weird around the eyes. Always touching my bottom lids and lashes. As a result is never left the house.

Ne pas acheter
Piètre qualité de couture au niveau de l'ouverture de la bouche, troisième journée, le tout était décousu! Ne pas acheter avec une ouverture!

fragile
the mouth piece (hole) tore up in less than a week. Very comfortable but unfortunatly not at all durable and thus not worth the nearly 40 dollars (CAD)
