A lightweight knitted balaclava that covers head, neck and face in one piece, cutting sun off the back of the neck in summer and wind off the cheeks in winter. The polyester knit is thin and stretchy rather than bulky, so it fits under a cycling helmet, a hard hat or a motorcycle lid without pressure points, and it pulls down to sit as a neck gaiter when you want your face clear.
The fabric breathes while you work, which is the difference between a face cover you keep on and one that ends up in a pocket after ten minutes. It wicks sweat, dries fast after a wash and packs down to almost nothing in a jersey pocket or a tackle box. The elastic knit holds its shape through repeated wear rather than bagging out around the eye opening.
Thirty one colours and prints are available, from plain black, navy, grey, white, brown, orange and army green through to a wide run of camouflage patterns including ACU digital, jungle, desert, snow CP, python and mountain forest. Suited to cycling, hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, motorcycling, running and general sun protection. Fellmont Outdoors keeps one in every bag, because it is the cheapest way to make a bad weather day tolerable.
