Heavyweight Yak Wool Balaclava
Our heavyweight balaclava is an ultra-warm face mask made of 100% yak wool, designed for the most extreme weather in the high mountains and at the lowest temperatures. It reliably protects your face from the bitter cold and harsh weather in the depths of winter and during severe storms. Wind, frost, and snow can't harm it. Our heavyweight balaclava is built for high-alpine use in the most challenging weather and keeps you warm for a long time, even in wet conditions. This makes it the perfect companion for mountain tours on the coldest winter days and for hunting on freezing winter nights.
Keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the heat by supporting your body’s natural temperature regulation.
Wicks moisture away from the body 66% more effectively than merino wool, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience. The most breathable wool on the planet.
By insulating against the cold 40% better than merino wool, it keeps you comfortably warm even in the deepest sub-zero temperatures. In summer, it insulates against heat, so you’ll never get too hot on the mountain.
Excess heat is effectively released to the outside, so you won’t overheat even during strenuous activities.
Can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in moisture without losing its insulating power. Even after absorbing moisture, it offers more protection than other materials.
Minimizes evaporative cooling on the skin by immediately wicking moisture away, thus protecting against hypothermia in high mountains.
Protects against light precipitation, wind, and fog.
Highly wind-resistant properties and a dense knit guarantee reliable protection against icy high-altitude winds in the high mountains.
Dries twice as fast as cotton and 17% faster than merino wool.
Best weight-to-warmth ratio of any wool on the outdoor market.
Keeps you free of unpleasant odors for up to two weeks, even during strenuous activities.
UPF 50+ for the highest UV protection in high-altitude mountain regions.
Naturally antistatic, flame-retardant, and self-extinguishing.
Naturally possesses a reduced infrared signature in the near-infrared range (NIR-compliant)*
Incredibly soft material that is itch-free and reduces friction against the skin.
Heavy, robust knit for a long lifespan. Up to twice as resistant to pilling as merino wool.
Sustainable sourcing of raw materials that preserves the high plateaus of Central Asia. Fair production by a local manufacturer in Mongolia.
