Ultra-Soft, Windproof Fleece for Full-Coverage, Breathable Winter Warmth

Built for cold-weather protection without excessive bulk, the Outdoor Research Alpine Fleece Balaclava combines soft fleece warmth, moisture management, and a low-profile fit for demanding winter conditions.

Constructed from a comfortable polyester-elastane fleece, the Alpine Fleece Balaclava provides excellent warmth while remaining breathable and flexible during active use. The fabric is wind resistant, moisture wicking, and quick drying, helping maintain comfort when moving between periods of high activity and exposure to cold conditions.

Its hinged construction allows the face covering to be easily adjusted as conditions or activity levels change, while the low-profile hood design minimizes bulk when worn beneath additional headwear.

Integrated silicone goggle grips help keep goggles securely positioned during movement, making the balaclava particularly well suited for skiing, snowshoeing, mountain operations, and other cold-weather activities.

Flat-seam construction improves next-to-skin comfort and reduces pressure points, while the stretch fabric provides a snug fit that moves naturally with the wearer.

Lightweight, warm, and easy to pack, the Alpine Fleece Balaclava is an excellent addition to any cold-weather layering system.
