4.0 out of 5 stars Good cheap and thin, June 10, 2010

Just to add on to what Mattyr1974 reviewed, yes it is a 5.00 balaclava about the price of a subway sammich so think of it as disposable. It fits like second skin just enough to cut the chilly air in MN when I am on the sportbike heading to work or to wear as a sweat barrier on hot track days. I like a snugger fitting helmet and this balaclava does not make my helmet fit any tighter. The only item I would like to elaborate on is the lack of neck protection from the wind or cold. There is not enough to tuck into my jacket, take into account I wear a XXL helmet and have a 18.5" neck so it might just be me. Oh yes, and the fit around your eyes is sloppy like the photo shows and the stitching is bunched at your nose. If you are looking for good neck coverage and a custom fit check out another balaclava that I did a review on. In conclusion this is a fantastic, thin, disposable 5 dollar balaclava.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stupid Seam!, July 27, 2010

Although I haven't tried this balaclava "in action," here is my first impression (if I remember I'll update my review come fall...)

This Balaclava is super thin, which is nice - it'll fit under my motorcycle helmet just fine. The unfortunate part is that the seam is right in the middle of your face, and it'll rub quite uncomfortably against the tip of your nose. You can flip it inside-out but it does have a slightly different feel on the inside (same material, but the weave is different).

I was also disappointed (like I often am with Amazon purchases) in the overly large packaging - the balaclava is thin enough you could get it into a standard size envelope, and you could have probably fit 20-30 of them in the actual box it came in - but that's another story...

This is not something to use as a primary head cover. It is perfect for those who hate scratchy winter caps or for under helmets to keep the clean and comfortable. My son loves this under his winter cap.
