Lainey: This balaclava did not block the wind at all! It felt like my face was bare! Except that it was soaking wet after only 2 ski runs, & that moisture was right on my skin & mouth so it was annoying to speak & my face was freezing. I promptly went back to my old balaclava which had some insulating & moisture-wicking qualities.

Eddie: I got this balaclava to do winter sports and it's been great! The configuration options are really useful, allowing me to switch between using it as a neck warmer to a full-on balaclava and everything in between. It's also really breathable so I could continue using it as a full face cover during high aerobic activity.
The only downside is that it will rotate around my neck when I'm using it as a neck warmer and when I'm trying to switch to the nose/mouth cover configuration, it's hard to tell which part I should be putting over my mouth. If some way to identify the front/mouth section could be added, it would fix this problem.

James Carmichael: This silly thing won me over with its quality production and versatility. ;) Seriously -- well-made, Self Pro.
I had initially bought it to work out in. TBH, I think it is not _great_ for that. It's a bit heavy and hot for anything but actual cold weather, around your neck and the back of your head, and you have to really pull it way up the back of your head to get it not to drop down off your nose and mouth, and even then if you're really working out -- running hard, etc. -- it's not very stable. I might gently suggest to the good people (non-ironic, this; that is my impression, too) at Self-Pro that they soften that part of the sales pitch. If you have it beneath a helmet or held up while on a vehicle I bet it works, but as _workout_ gear it's not good.
So I almost returned it. BUT! I live in LA. We all need to wear masks. I don't always want to strap on my I-am-Bane carbon filter thing; plus, there are times (even in LA -- say, of a cool evening) when it's perfectly nice to have a thing around my neck. And there WILL BE times, I imagine, where it's even nice to have the cap part up (that hasn't happened to me yet, but give it time. We're going to be in this moment...

Jeff: 10/22/2019 Update: When we received the balaclava, it came with a card soliciting a review in return for another free balacava. The review that you see below is what I wrote. I felt it only fair to include here that disclaimer. Now, having said that, I have to add that *I* took the second balacava and have been wearing it myself. I love it—! It is really a high quality piece of gear. Time will tell. I will update this in the future regarding my experience over time, but this balacava is warm, and versatile. Having lost probably about 98% of my hair this ver the last 30 years, and developing the habit of shaving the rest pert near to the skin on a regular basis, I have come to really appreciate the many functions of this balacava, especially considering how little space it takes. I keep it going b my pocket and pull it out frequently already. It’s really nice to have
Original review:
My 15yo son, who is otherwise very healthy and active, has to keep warm. It's kind of a battle with him, because he complains that he doesn't feel cold and doesn't want to wear this extra stuff. But he is growing so fast that his calories are going "up", rather than "on" in the form of...

Charles: You should be aware that "one size fits all/most" CAN mean it won't fit most/all. I ride a cruiser as my daily commuter vehicle, and I was tired of tying bandanas over my face and head to keep the wind, bugs, and pebbles out of my beard and eyes. Someone told me I should get a balaclava, so I settled on this one. My thoughts:
First, it's easy to put on and take off in the various ways you see in the photos. That is a plus as I'm always hopping off the bike to run into a store or whatever (I suggest you wear it as a neck gaiter in these instances-otherwise women will clutch their purses and children tightly and men will study you suspiciously...even if it's obvious you just climbed off of a motorcycle. Trust me, don't just pull the face section down. Pull the head section back, too!) The material is thin and effective against the wind, and it couldn't be more comfortable over my ears. Moisture-wicking-sweat-evaporating Nike T-shirt proprietary tech-I'm just kidding...It gets rid of sweat well enough, though-so it works in warm AND cool weather! Well done in these aspects, but...
Maybe my head is larger than most/all, but I was disappointed to find that the material that hangs...
