"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is the balaclava I grab for everything—touring, storm days, or even just windy resort laps. The merino wool is super soft and never gets clammy, even when I’m working hard. It fits easily under a helmet, doesn’t bunch up, and stays comfortable all day."" The BlackStrap Merino Hood is the kind of layer we forget we’re wearing—which is exactly what we want in the cold. Designed for storm days, backcountry missions, and everyday resort laps, this balaclava blends the natural performance of merino wool with a sleek, low-bulk design that fits seamlessly under helmets and hoods. Merino brings all the right benefits: breathable insulation, moisture-wicking comfort, and natural odor resistance, so we stay warm and dry without overheating. Its ergonomic fit hugs the contours of our face and neck for reliable coverage, and UPF 50+ protection helps shield us on bluebird days. From boot pack to skintrack, this is an essential layer we never leave behind."
