Here at Salty Peaks, we know that a soggy, ill-fitting balaclava can ruin a perfect Utah powder day. That’s why we recommend the 686 Alpha Hinged Balaclava. This isn’t just another face mask; it’s a piece of technical equipment, engineered for comfort and performance. The magic lies in its patented hinged design, which allows you to pull the chin and mouth guard down with one hand for easy breathing on the lift or a quick sip of water, all without bunching up or needing to readjust your helmet.

Forget the clammy feeling of traditional masks. The Alpha is built with a revolutionary Alpha Grid™ fleece and merino wool blend that actively breathes and wicks moisture away, keeping you warm without overheating. It’s the ultimate solution for avoiding goggle fog and staying comfortable from first chair to last lap. Stop by our shop in Millcreek and see why this is the only balaclava you’ll ever need.
