Merino balaclavas and neck gaiters for every winter adventure
A good face covering does more than block the wind. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, so a balaclava or neck gaiter traps heat when it is freezing and releases it when you work hard. The fine fibres feel soft against the skin — no itch, no bulk — and resist odour even after long days outdoors.
One piece, many ways to wear it
Our lightweight balaclava doubles as a snood, neck warmer and headband, while a tubular neck gaiter pulls up over the nose and mouth in seconds. That versatility makes them an easy addition to your headwear and merino base layer set-up for skiing, cycling and trail days.
Built for cold-weather sport
Whether you are carving down a piste or riding through a frosty morning, breathable merino coverage protects exposed skin without trapping sweat. Pair them with the rest of your merino ski gear for head-to-toe warmth.

How to choose between a balaclava and a neck gaiter
Choose a balaclava when you need full face and head coverage for skiing, snowboarding or sub-zero rides. Choose a neck gaiter or snood when you want flexible neck warmth you can adjust on the move. Many skiers, cyclists and hikers carry both and layer them as conditions change.
