These super warm balaclavas are handmade from recycled polar fleece. The fleece hood keeps the entire head warm in the worst weather. Common balaclavas cover the mouth which leads to icing up problems, fogged sunglasses and the inability to eat or drink. My design eliminates these problems by leaving the eyes, nose and mouth free but covering from the lower lip down. The stretchy material allows the face opening to be pulled down under the chin while eating. If it gets warmer just fold up the bottom to make the balaclava into a warm hat or push it back to make a neck warmer. When it gets extremely cold, add an ear band or another hat on top. They are great for skiing, snowboarding, bicycling, backpacking, camping, kayaking and other winter outdoor sports. My personal balaclava has traveled thousands of miles on long-distance excursions. I and wear it almost 24 hours a day when winter camping in Maine. Fits most folks ages 5 to 99+ |

What customers have to say about The Mouse Works Fleece Balaclavas:
Ryan,
About the fleece
Most of my fleece is made by Malden Mills here in the USA. It is the
best fleece available that does not pill or degrade like cheaper imported
fabrics. You can learn more by visiting
Polartec®
Technical Highlights
Provides warmth without the weight and bulk of traditional insulating fabrics
Highly breathable to provide comfort in all activities; does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor
Dries quickly to minimize heat loss
Durable; will outlast other imported fleece fabrics. It does not pill up like the cheep imitations. Plus it is made in the USA!
Machine washable. Please turn hats with eyes inside out to protect them.
Versatile; appropriate for a broad range of activities
Much of the fleece is made from recycled soda pop bottles!
I work with different thicknesses which provide
different levels of insulation for outdoor activities.
100 weight fabrics are the lightest and are excellent for a warm first layer,
for heavy aerobic activity such as running or for warmer climates.
200 weight is about twice as thick as 100wt. It is the normal weight that
jackets are made of. It provides outstanding warmth and versatility.
300 weight is the thickest. It provides the most warmth. It normally is too thick for most hats
Berber is a special fleece that is nubbly on the outside with a smooth face for the inside. Many folks enjoy the texture of this fabric. It is not as wind resistant as regular fleece.
