Midweight 100% Merino Wool Balaclava
One piece, three ways to wear it. This 100% merino wool balaclava works as a full face covering on bitter cold days, pulls down below your chin when you need to breathe easier, or slips back entirely to become a cozy neck gaiter. The midweight merino keeps you warm without overheating—and unlike synthetic balaclavas, you're breathing through pure, natural wool with no chemical treatments.
