Really good for the price and makes a good helmet liner
Material and construction: The material is relatively lightweight and easy to slip on and off. This balaclava is thin enough overall to be considered alright as a helmet liner or base layer that you could wear a more insulating hat or hood over. The outer surface of the balaclava is a smooth, stretchy, tight-weave polyester with side panels that are formed into a less stretchy waffle knit. The interior is lined with a very low-pile polyester fleece that is soft and comfortable against the skin. The area over the mouth is sealed and does not have any kind of breathing holes, nor is there a nose cutout. It’s a nice-looking balaclava with good quality stitching and fabric.Fit: The facemask section easily moves down around your neck if you want to wear it with your face exposed. With the facemask section in place, my glasses would fog. To be fair, though, I haven’t come across a balaclava yet that will not fog up my glasses. A fit issue I have with this balaclava is that if I pull the facemask section up high enough to cover up to just below the bridge of my nose, the facemask also starts getting into my eyes. This isn’t an issue as long as I keep the mask section lowered enough so that it’s about halfway up my nose and, if I’m wearing goggles, I wouldn’t want the facemask any higher, but it would be nice if the cutout was scooped just a bit below the eyes or the mask attachment point was just a bit lower.The balaclava comes down and completely covers my neck, with some loose fabric that extends onto my chest and shoulders in a useful way to help keep out drafts.Protection: This material does cut the wind, but not completely. I used a house fan to test the wind resistance, as the weather is still mild outside. Wind is reduced enough to make a difference in heat loss, but this material definitely doesn’t perform like WindstopperTM, for instance, and let enough wind get through that it could be felt, albeit lightly. I think in very cold, windy conditions, this balaclava is best used as a base layer. This balaclava does a decent job of insulating against cold despite being relatively thin material. I wore this inside a walk-in freezer and also put an ice gel pack against my face while wearing it and although I could feel the cold coming through after about a minute, it wasn’t the bitter cold you’d expect without anything protecting you. In both wind and cold, the waffle knit panels seem to provide just a bit more protection than the smooth panel that runs from the top of the head down the back.So, my take on this balaclava is that it’s generally very good overall, with an eye cutout with the mask up that may be a bit too narrow for some, but otherwise fits nicely by fitting much like a helmet liner and it’s just a little thicker. As a layer under a helmet, hat or hood, this will definitely add warmth and wind resistance. On its own, it offers useful protection except in harsher conditions. Considering the price, it’s worth having.

Sireck Balaclava: Winter is Coming — Buy this mask and be ready
I got the Sireck Ski Mask Balaclava because sometimes you just must go outside and face the cold. This is an amazingly comfortable Balaclava. I intend to wear it under a winter cap or a hard hat. I live on a three-acre property with over one hundred trees. Every day after a high wind there will be branches, limbs, or an entire tree that one needs to deal with, so it means going outside in the cold.I am optimistic about the Sireck Balaclava, it is thicker than my other two Balaclavas, it also fits more comfortably, and it has a nice hand. It is late October 2024 as I write this review, and I am three weeks away from wearing this Balaclava for an extensive amount of time however the trial periods that I wore this Balaclava suggest that it will do fine.The nice points are:1. The fleece lining2. The built-in neck hood3. It is heavy enough to keep the wind off the back of my neck.4. It fits like a glove.I give the Sireck Balaclava five stars.

Warm and cozy
Great value, this is a nice tight fitting ski mask which is perfect for being outside in the cold temperatures. It is lightweight and feels cosy when wearing. I have already washed it and it washes well with no shrinkage.
