Good investment for snowboarding
I love the material and the comfort of something with this much coverage over your head. I use this for snowboarding and it works great. Very good material and construction.

Very warm
I am very pleased with these balaclava. I have been using it under a Berghaus Gore-Tex jacket and if fits really well under the hood. I like the fact that the face opening is kinda large, makes it easier to pull the balaclava down under your chin when you want a better angle of view. It keeps me warm and does a good job of keeping the chilly winds outside.

I like its design, it could protect my head, face and neck and provide warmth. Since I got it, I don't need hat and scarf and don't fear chilly wind. It's very suitable and convenient for skiing in the winter, at the same time, it looks so cool.

As expected...
another high quality piece from Arcteryx. I have two other Balaclava's, but this is the most comfortable by far. Walking in 15 degree weather this morning with the dogs was a pleasure, as I barely knew I had it on due to it's lightweight, and my head was nice and toasty. Money well spent.

Perfectly Warm!
I can't say I use this for extreme winter sports, but when you have to walk the dogs at 5:30am and it's only 10 degrees out, what a gift! The dogs may love the frigid temps, but not me so much and this Balaclava was just what I needed.
