Oasis Merino Wool Balaclava

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

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!
