Helikon-Tex Lightweight and breathable Balaclava
Description
Helikon-Tex Balaclava
Helikon-Tex Balaclava is a lightweight, breathable face cover designed for basic protection in the field and during outdoor activity. Thanks to its anatomical cut, you can cover or expose your nose and mouth as needed, making it practical for tactical use as well as running, cycling, and other sports.
Breathable Cotton + Lycra Comfort
Made from cotton with a small Lycra content, the fabric breathes well and conforms closely to the shape of the face without feeling restrictive. This makes the balaclava comfortable for long wear in changing conditions.
Designed to Work Under Helmets and Hats
Flat seams reduce pressure points and irritation, so the balaclava can be worn on its own or under a helmet or hat. The slim profile makes it a good choice for Law Enforcement and Patrol applications where comfort and layering matter.
