Best balaclava I've ever had !!! However, even the most expensive !! Participating it while skiing as motorcycling strammer Sitz.stinkt not immediately balaclava as the cotton after 1 time use smell disgusting. Comparable to the Brubeck balaclava which however after 1 session somewhat suffered from the fit and has worn out !! This one's still in shape for it but it fits quite tight which for me is not annoying !!
