When the snow is deep and the wind is howling, the Outdoor Research Alpine Fleece Balaclava delivers the full-face protection serious winter athletes demand. This windproof fleece balaclava combines ultra-soft comfort with technical performance, featuring integrated silicone goggle grips that keep your eyewear locked in place whether you're threading tight trees or charging through chest-deep powder. The hinged construction moves naturally with your face while the low-profile hood fits seamlessly under any helmet, making it perfect for resort skiing, snowboarding, nordic touring, or snowshoeing sessions where comfort and protection can't be compromised. At just 61g, this winter face mask breathes beautifully during high-output activities while blocking wind and managing moisture, so you can focus on the descent instead of fighting with your gear.
