FAQ

  1. A balaclava covers the entire head, face and neck, offering complete protection against cold and wind. It can have different openings (full, partially uncovered or adjustable) and is often used for maximum insulation under a helmet.
  2. A ski mask, on the other hand, mainly covers the lower part of the face (nose, mouth, sometimes cheeks) and is often worn with a cap or helmet. It is designed to provide better breathability and prevent fogging up of ski goggles.

To choose the right ski balaclava, there are several criteria to consider:

  1. Materials: Opt for technical fabrics such as polyester, merino wool or fleece to ensure warmth and breathability.
  2. Fit: A balaclava should fit snugly, but not too tightly, to allow helmets to be worn and ensure comfort.
  3. Climatic conditions: For very low temperatures, a thick balaclava is preferable, while a lighter model is suitable for less rigorous conditions.
  4. Ventilation: Some models feature breathable zones to prevent moisture build-up.

The materials recommended for a ski balaclava should offer a good balance of warmth, breathability and moisture wicking. Popular options include:

  1. Merino wool: Naturally warm, breathable and odor-resistant, ideal for long days on the slopes.
  2. Fleece: Provides excellent thermal insulation while being soft and comfortable.
  3. Polyester/elastane: Lightweight, breathable and stretchy, perfect for intensive sports use.
  4. Softshell: Offers wind protection and water resistance.

These choices depend on the climate and the type of activity practiced on the ski slopes
