A versatile balaclava that balances insulation with effective ventilation.
Buff says:
Convertible Balaclava with multiple ways to wear, delivering warmth without the bulk using PrimaLoft® insulating fibers and 58% recycled content. Designed for active performance and ultimate breathability with VaprGrid™ laser-cut breathing holes, flatlock seams and 4-way stretch.
Our Verdict
The Buff Thermonet Hinged Balaclava weighs just 66g and provides full head and face coverage with the option to adjust it into different configurations. The fit is snug with good stretch, staying in place under a helmet, while flatlock seams minimise pressure points. The PrimaLoft blend delivers reliable warmth without bulk, and the fleece-backed fabric manages moisture well during exertion. Laser-cut breathing holes at the mouth reduce goggle fogging, though airflow here can feel cold in very low temperatures. A ponytail opening improves fit for longer hair, and the hinged design adds flexibility for varied configurations.
