FAQ

A balaclava is a type of balaclava that covers the head, face and neck, leaving only openings for the eyes, nose or mouth. It is used to protect against cold, wind and bad weather, and is often worn for activities such as skiing, motorcycling, hiking or working outdoors. Balaclavas are also popular in urban environments for reasons of style or discretion.

The term “balaclava” has its origins in the Battle of Balaclava, which took place in 1854 during the Crimean War. British soldiers wore these knitted balaclavas to protect themselves from the extreme cold during the siege of the town of Balaclava (now in Crimea). Since then, the name has remained associated with this type of protective clothing.

In the United States, wearing a balaclava is generally legal, but may be subject to certain restrictions depending on local contexts and specific situations. For example:

  • In some states or cities, wearing a balaclava in public places, especially during demonstrations or events, may be regulated for reasons of public safety.
  • Wearing a balaclava in private places such as banks, stores or schools may be prohibited to avoid confusion or criminal suspicion.
  • Some anti-mask laws exist in states such as New York and Georgia, aimed at restricting the wearing of masks in public gatherings to prevent illegal activities.

It is therefore advisable to check local regulations before wearing a balaclava in certain environments.
