686 Alpha Hinged Balaclava

Conquer the mountain in any condition with the 686 Alpha Hinged Balaclava, the ultimate head and face protection for skiers, snowboarders, and winter adventurers. Engineered for maximum versatility and comfort, this balaclava is your first line of defense against biting wind, freezing temperatures, and harsh sun, allowing you to stay out longer and perform at your best. Its thoughtful design addresses the common frustrations of winter face coverings, making it an essential piece of gear for any cold-weather excursion.

The genius of the Alpha lies in its articulated hinged design. This innovative construction allows you to effortlessly pull the lower face mask down below your chin without having to adjust or remove your helmet and goggles. Whether you need to take a quick drink, call out to a friend on the lift, or simply get some fresh air on a strenuous hike, the hinge provides instant access and breathability. This feature is crucial for preventing goggle fog, as you can easily manage airflow and moisture buildup around your mouth and nose.

Breathe easy and stay fresh thanks to the strategically placed Merino Wool Blend mouth flap. This premium material is naturally antimicrobial, helping to resist odor build-up even after a long day of activity. It is also exceptionally soft against the skin and excels at wicking moisture away, preventing the damp, icy feeling common with lesser-quality materials. The main body is crafted from a high-performance synthetic stretch fabric that offers a snug, yet unrestrictive fit. This advanced material is both moisture-wicking and quick-drying, pulling sweat away from your skin to keep you dry, warm, and comfortable from the first chair to the last run.

Designed for a universal fit, this balaclava is an essential piece of gear for both men and women seeking superior performance. Its low-profile, helmet-compatible design ensures it layers smoothly under your helmet without bunching or causing pressure points. Furthermore, don´t be fooled by cloudy days or winter sun reflecting off the snow. The Alpha Balaclava provides a formidable defense against harmful solar radiation with a UPF 50+ rating, protecting your skin during long days of high-altitude exposure.
