"A new favourite amongst my kit! This is a serious balaclava for serious conditions - I use mine when I have to venture out in Antarctic blizzards. Unlike most balaclavas, the nose and mouth openings have been cleverly designed (with added fleece for extra comfort) and help prevent your goggles or glasses from misting. The soft-shell material blocks all the wind, and the long neck helps seal you off from the spindrift and snow. The reflective logo on the forehead aids visibility in the dark, and prevents your team-mates from mistaking you for a black-ops soldier and attacking you with an ice-axe. My balaclava now lives permanently in my pack with my snow-goggles for when the next storm strikes. " - Ross Hofmeyr

"The Soft Shell Balaclava has got to be the UGLIEST piece of clothing I own. The problem is - it is so efficient at what it does, I a cannot fly without it! In paragliding the balaclava keeps me warm, prevents wind burn, sun burn and chapped lips. The mouth opening allows me to drink water whilst in the air with minimum fuss. PLEASE, PLEASE FIRST ASCENT - Could you design the balaclava so it does not double as a Halloween mask? I am a GIRL and looking good is almost as important as getting the job done!" - Gaynor Schoeman
