Base Balaclava – Technical Fleece - The North Face

Base Balaclava – The North Face® Technical Fleece Hood

The Base Balaclava by The North Face is a high-performance thermal hood designed for maximum protection in the mountains. This technical fleece balaclava delivers comprehensive coverage against sun and cold, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable during ski touring, trail running, or high-altitude adventures.

Why This Technical Hood Stands Out:

• FlashDry™ Tech: Advanced moisture management that wicks sweat away, providing a "dry fleece" feel even during intense output.
• UPF 40+ Protection: Shields your face and neck from harmful UV rays, a must-have for snowy and high-altitude environments.
• Double-Layer Protection: Features a reinforced front panel to block freezing wind while maintaining breathability.
• Sustainable Performance: Crafted with 88% recycled polyester to minimize environmental impact without compromising quality.

Key Features

• Hinged Construction: Highly versatile design—wear it as a full face mask, a neck gaiter, or an open hood.
• Low-Profile Fit: Specifically engineered to fit seamlessly under helmets and integrate perfectly with goggles.
• Reflective Safety: Includes a heat-transfer reflective logo for increased visibility in low-light conditions.
• Maximum Stretch: Elastane-infused fabric ensures a snug, non-restrictive fit for all-day wear.

Specifications

Field Insight: Unlike bulky traditional fleece masks, the Base Balaclava focuses on temperature regulation. Its hinged design allows you to adjust airflow instantly without stopping your mission.
