This and the previous versions of the OR product has been my go to balaclava for skiing for over 15 years. It's thin inside my helmet and keeps my head warm. The face opening felexible and soft and is perfect for pulling down over my chin when I don't need the full face version.

Alpine Onset Merino 150 Balaclava
Great warm lightweight balaclava, I just wish it was a clamshell or had a little more stretch to pull off my mouth occasionally.

Horrible fit. The face hole is tiny and crowds field of vision.

Weird Fit.
Maybe my head is just small but this is the strangest fitting balaclava I've ever tried on. The face hole is very round and narrow so it covers the outter half of my eyes. I feel like if my head were larger over-all it would stretch the balaclava so it would fit properly but there is so much material around the back, the opening just stays as a small circle. Its disappointing because the other reviews were so great and I was stoked for a merino balaclava!

Comfortable, Soft, And Great Weight
I really like the entire Alpine Onset Merino line for my bike commute. Whether the cap and neck gaiter, or this full balaclava, it's the best.
