Product Overview
Cold-weather headwear needs to cover more than the top of your head. Rothco Polyester Balaclavas extend over the head, face, and neck, providing warmth across areas a winter hat leaves exposed. Made from 100% expedition weight polyester, this cold-weather balaclava combines broad coverage with breathable fabric and an adjustable eye opening.
Coverage That You Can Adjust
The eye opening lets you adjust the fit around your eyes while keeping the surrounding face covered. That is a useful detail when you want warmth around your cheeks and forehead without covering your line of sight. The extended neck coverage also helps close the exposed area between your headwear and the collar of your cold-weather clothing.
For winter airsoft games, outdoor work, or cold-weather hikes, that connected head-and-neck coverage keeps your layering setup straightforward. Rather than relying on a hat alone, you have a single piece that covers the head and continues down around the neck.
Expedition Weight Polyester for Winter Layering
Rothco uses expedition weight polyester to provide warmth, while the breathable fabric helps make extended wear more comfortable. This balaclava is part of the Extreme Cold Weather Clothing System, or ECWCS, and is intended to work as a cold-weather clothing component. Consider it alongside the rest of your winter layers, with coverage and warmth suited to the conditions and activity you have planned.
