686 DLX HINGED BALACLAVA

Conquer the cold and maximize your comfort on the mountain with the 686 DLX Hinged Balaclava. This versatile and essential piece of headwear is designed to provide ultimate warmth and adaptability for skiers and snowboarders facing Utah’s varied winter conditions, from frosty mornings at Powder Mountain to windy ridge lines at Snowbird.

The “hinged” design is the key to its versatility. It allows you to easily pull the mouth/nose section up over your face for full coverage when the wind bites, or drop it down under your chin when you’re heating up or need to communicate, all without having to remove the entire balaclava. This multi-wear functionality means you can adapt to changing weather and activity levels on the fly.

Constructed from multi-stretch warmth fabrics, typically a blend of stretch polyester-spandex for the outer layer, and featuring a Merino wool blend mouth flap, the DLX Hinged Balaclava offers superior warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking performance. The Merino wool provides natural temperature regulation and odor resistance, while the full construction ensures a comfortable, non-bulky fit under your helmet. It also boasts a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ rating for essential sun protection, and is often treated with Hyprotecht® by HEIQ® for anti-microbial properties to keep things fresh. Stay warm, dry, and comfortable all day long with this indispensable piece of winter gear.
