The Hood Balaclava is BlackStrap’s all-season face protection essential, designed for riders who demand comfort and performance from first chair to last call. Built with TREO fabric technology, it delivers breathable warmth and UPF 50+ protection in a helmet-friendly fit.

Why we like it:

We like The Hood for its versatility—light enough for bluebird days yet protective enough for storm riding. The ExoHinge design keeps mobility high without compromising coverage, making it a true “quiver killer” for facewear.

Features and Functions:

Dual-layer PERFA mesh liner adds airflow and warmth where needed; TREO outer fabric manages moisture while maintaining stretch and softness. Fully washer and dryer safe for easy care.

Fit and Sizing:

Fits easily under most helmets with a contoured, ergonomic shape that moves with you without pressure points.

Bottom Line:

Reliable, adaptable, and ready for any condition—this is the go-to balaclava for everyday mountain use.
