Outdoor Research Helmetclava

You love your OR Windstopper fleece hat, but when the wind is ripping over that ridge youll want the added protection and full face coverage of the Outdoor Research Helmetclava. This Outdoor Research balaclava uses 3 types of fleece fabric to give you the best combo of wind-stopping protection and soft, fleecy warmth. Your face and front of neck will have water-resistant Windstopper Soft Shell fabric, the back of your neck will have high-loft Radiant Fleece fabric for fuzzy warmth and the crown of your head and ears will have low profile Thermodynamic fabric for a thin fit under your helmet and better hearing. This winter headwear will keep your neck and face cozy in the gnarliest sideways blowing snowstorm and keep you breathing easily through the laser-cut mouth holes. Designed with flatlocked seams for a comfy fit under any helmet, youll be slashing pow when the fair-weather skiers are stuck in the lodge.

Good selection
My husband and I walk our Golden no matter how cold and windy it is. The Wind Pro products are wonderful having bought a hat last year and never have been cold wearing it. It is extremely windy here and in the winter a face mask is a must on long walks in below freezing temps. Yes it definitely makes my husband look like a Ninja but he's warm! Recommended under a hat as well. Our only disapointment was that several other Outdoor Research products were sold out for the season.

great flexibility
the problem with most balaclavas is what to do with the facemask when you do not need full coverage (ie overheating on ride) and still be comfortable. OR solved this problem with this line of headgear - the skullcap is slightly separate from the facemask portion, and the fabric is stitched so it overlaps. cold? pull it up past your chin, mouth or nose. warm? slide i back down. does not bunch up - neck coverage is good - cut higher in the back so it is confortable when on the bike. only issue is that i wish there were windproof panels over the ears. granted - this would limit a bit of your ability to hear, but would make it a bit warmer. oh - and the flat stitched seams are placed to the side and out of the way - which is a nice feature as well when wearing a helmet.

Excellent design!
I haven't tried it out in the cold yet, but it fits perfectly, it's designed very well, and judging from my previous experiences with Windstopper, it'll likely be very warm.
