For ultimate coverage on the coldest, windiest days, the Smartwool Thermal Merino Balaclava has your back. Made from Merino 250 Next-to-Skin fabric, this balaclava is soft to the touch and delivers the same moisture-wicking, quick-drying, stench-free properties as its thinner counterparts. Designed for some serious cold weather protection and built to keep you warm, this face-shield-hood combination has a wide enough cut for optimized vision in the periphery. Slim enough to fit under a helmet but durable enough for many seasons of wear, the Smartwool Thermal Merino Balaclava insulates the face, neck, and head for superior coziness and guaranteed protection.
