Vigor Plus Balaclava

A balaclava is a versatile headwear that covers your entire head, face, and neck, leaving only your eyes, mouth, and sometimes your nose exposed. It provides essential warmth and protection against cold weather, making it ideal for activities like skiing and snowboarding. By wearing a balaclava, you can stay comfortable and focused on your performance without worrying about the chill.

The "high-loft grid interior" refers to a special fabric construction that features a fluffy texture designed to trap air and provide insulation. The grid pattern enhances breathability, ensuring you stay warm without overheating. This combination keeps you comfortable during intense winter activities, allowing you to enjoy your time outdoors.

The hinge design allows you to easily adjust the face covering of the balaclava. You can pull it down or up based on your comfort level and the weather conditions. This flexibility means you can customize your coverage, ensuring you stay warm when it’s cold and can cool off when you need to, enhancing your overall experience.

4-way stretch fabric is designed to stretch in multiple directions—both horizontally and vertically. This feature allows the balaclava to fit snugly and comfortably on your head and face, providing freedom of movement during activities like skiing or snowboarding. You won’t feel restricted, allowing you to perform at your best.

A lightweight, low bulk design means that the balaclava won’t add extra weight or take up much space when worn or layered under a helmet. This is crucial for athletes who want to stay warm without feeling weighed down. A streamlined design allows for better mobility and comfort, so you can focus on your performance rather than your gear.

Yes, the balaclava is designed to be lightweight and low bulk, making it perfect for wearing under a helmet. Its snug fit and flexible design ensure that you stay warm and protected without compromising your helmet's fit or comfort. Enjoy your winter sports with the confidence that your gear will work seamlessly together!
