The Balaclava Combo has 2 layers of brushed micro fleece fabric over the face for maximum protection from the elements, and Drythech Fabric at the top for helmet compatibility. It's insulated and has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating so it doesn't absorb moisture from rain and snow.

Why do you need a hole in a face mask in front of your mouth?

As you exhale you also breathe out moisture. This gets trapped in the mask and you end up with a wet face all day..... nice. If it gets cold that moisture freezes making you colder. The Airhole is designed to allow breath to escape freely, avoiding the build up of condensation to keep you dry, warm and goggles fog free. Stay out there longer.

All Airhole masks have a minimum UPF of 50 which means they block 98% of harmful UV rays. This helps prevent premature aging and the risk of damage to the wearers skin. Unlike many sunblock products, Airhole Facemasks block both UVA and UVB radiation.
