I use this primarily for elk hunting in September in WY. It does a great job of keeping you warm and concealed.

A solid balaclava to have in the bag, covers early too mid season then switch to the tundra for late season, looks phenomenal in specter 👍

If you're looking for an upgraded balaclava to whatever you're currently rocking, then this will almost certainly do the trick. If you're looking to buy your first, then you're probably going to be spoiled and never know the real struggle for the rest of us that sat face-frozen in a tree stand at 19F wondering what we were doing wrong. It's not too heavy that it can't be used (camo pattern) in Spring Gobbler Season but with the appropriate headgear, it can be used in the colder months too. It fits my head perfectly (I like to think I've got a pretty average-sized head) and is easy to clean.

This balaclava (in black) is great for sitting in a ground blind for late season whitetail, even when the temps are in the 20s. My head never felt cold and I love the ear holes as well, though admittedly I didn't use them on the coldest days. I think this will be perfect for cold early morning runs before work as well.

During my years in the hunting and ski industries I have owned dozens of face coverings. This Wind River balaclava is my all-time favorite! The seems are in the right spots for functionality, the ear hole is a fabulous value added upgrade, the material is premium bud! Soft as a baby's bottom as that old commercial said about their product. This item is warm yet breaths better than some lighter weight (less warm) products that I have used and I just tore my garage apart to find my Cipher patterned one on the floor in a pile of gear from elk season. Now that it is back on my head I am on the website to order a solid color(because some days I get a kick out of being the guy on the ski hill rep'n camo with pride and other days I just don't want the attention.

Perfect addition to my set up! Great for early to mid season but if you throw a beanie on top it’ll work for late season too! It’s a little loose but I expect that will change once it’s washed a couple times.

Perfect for early to midseason. Fits great.

This is much more comfortable against the skin than the polyester one I wore for years. Glad I bought it.

I hunt in NC and I have been searching for some top notch gear for my hunts. This thing is amazing! The feel is incredible and it fits perfectly! The holes in the ears help me out tremendously because I do have some hearing loss! It fits my gigantic head without making wrinkles. When I pull the face shield up it actually stays! I bought the Cypher pattern so I could really use it in the later seasons.

I absolutely love the Wind River Balaclava. It fits great. I can wear it over or under my orange FL Tag Cuff Merino Beanie. It is soft on the face, not to tight, but not to loose. It stays in place. This is my first merino balaclava and love it. I wore it in the mid 20's. I could tell that it was damp on the face from breathing, but yet it still kept my face warm. It dries quickly after taking it off in cold weather and does not stink. Perfection at its best!!
