Unisex Merino 200 Oasis Balaclava
I have been using Icebreaker gear for about 3 years now after learning that they don't absorb odors like synthetic base layers do. Just as importantly, their gear holds up in the laundry. Pieces from lesser brands making merino base layers fall apart pretty quickly. This piece in particular is fantastic- It fits my head perfectly for layering under my helmet. Despite plenty of sweat, my skin stays dry. I couldn't ask for a better fit!

It leaves the back of your neck exposed
I had to return this because it's functionally useless and leaves the back of your neck completely exposed.

Great warmth to weight
I love this fabric but the cut/form isn't quite what I had hoped. The front has good length which helps eliminate drafts, but the back doesn't do the same- I fix this by also using the Flexi Chute. For skiing, I prefer to have my nose uncovered/uncoverable so I don't fog up my goggles too bad and this doesn't have the same "hinging" flexibility as some other balaclavas I've tried. I still would recommend this quite highly. It's nice and thin, hasn't stretched out or had any issues in the wash, doesn't get stinky, and adds great warmth

Perfect under helmet solution
For those extra cold days when a mere beanie does not get it done, this will. Very thin, superb warmth to weight ratio, fits comfortably under a bicycle or climbing helmet.

So soft
Soft and not too tight against the face. Super warm for those cold days.

Keeps my ears and face warm when out skiing or 4 wheeling on cold days. Lightweight and easy to wash.

Warm even when wet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this balaclava! Keeps me warm while skiing, even when wet from respiration droplets. I wish it was longer in the back, though.
