This is a popular Patagonia balaclava. It's a new model since last year, and while the previous model used merino wool, it has been reintroduced with the Capilene material, similar to the model two generations ago, and its popularity has returned. It has excellent moisture-wicking properties and is very easy to use. Being a thermal weight, it's not too hot or too cold, making it a truly versatile item. The seams are also flat-seam construction, which is gentle on the skin! This is a must-have item for snowboarders! *The color may appear different from the actual product depending on the screen. Purchased new in December 2024 and used three times.
