Burton Midweight Balaclava | True Black

Burton Midweight Balaclava | True Black

Full Coverage, Low Profile, Built to Wick

The Burton Midweight Balaclava gives you head, face and neck coverage in one thin, helmet-friendly layer. It's made from a midweight recycled polyester blend (92% recycled polyester, 8% spandex) that breathes and manages sweat, so you stay warm without the clammy feeling a thick fleece can give you on a hard-charging day. This one is True Black.

The low-profile cut sits comfortably under a helmet, chafe-free Softlock seams stay smooth against your face, and Burton's wicking fabric keeps moisture moving away from your skin from first chair to last lift. It comes in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, for a closer fit than a one-size piece.

Best for: riders who want full coverage under a helmet, cold and windy lift days, and anyone who wants a balaclava that won't overheat when they're working hard.

Built for Australian Conditions

When a southerly blows through Hotham or Perisher and the chairlift turns into a wind tunnel, a balaclava is the fastest way to stop your face freezing. The midweight fabric is warm enough for those bitter mornings but breathes well enough that you won't be cooking by lunch on a mild Victorian or NSW afternoon. It sits flat under your helmet with no bulk, and it's an easy add to the bag for a cold, snowy week in Japan.

Not for you if: you only want neck coverage you can pull up and down. Browse our neck warmers, or see the full range in our balaclavas collection and use the filters to find a heavier fleece.
