The Knit Balaclava is made from 100% superfine merino wool. Merino's natural odor resistance and warmth make it a great fit for fall and winter outdoor activities, and since it's washable wool, care stays simple without sacrificing practicality. With the hood down, it wears just like a snood, so it's just as easy to reach for day to day as it is out in the field. There's extra room built in around the face for a comfortable, itch-free fit, and a nicely tall collar covers the chin for solid protection against the cold.
