A balaclava is a protective clothing accessory designed for outdoor activities. It covers the head, neck, and sometimes part of the face, protecting against cold, wind, dust, and sun. It is especially widely used in mountaineering, camping, cycling, skiing, and other winter sports.
Balaclavas are usually made of breathable, elastic, and quick-drying materials. This keeps them warm and comfortable for long periods of time. Some models also have a thermal layer or UV filtration, which provides additional protection in various weather conditions.
Thanks to its simple design, the balaclava can be used both alone and under a helmet. Its light weight and compact shape make it easy to carry in a bag.
