Balaclavas & ski masks for protection

Balaclavas / ski masks
Our Balaclavas and Ski Masks offer full head and face coverage that goes on under your helmet, not just around your neck. Every ski balaclava in this collection has a hinged design, so you can wear it up for full coverage in a whiteout or drop it down when you don't need a full winter face mask anymore. Recycled fabric, a PFC-free ECO-DWR finish and moisture-wicking lining do the rest, whatever you call it.

Single, double or thermal?
The Single Balaclava is the lightweight, high-output option: breathable, moisture-wicking and helmet-friendly, built for days when you're working hard and don't want to overheat under a balaclava face mask. The Double Balaclava is the everyday pick for the whole season: two layers of recycled fabric and a PFC-free ECO-DWR finish for real cold weather balaclava protection without losing breathability. The Thermal Balaclava is the one for when winter isn't messing around: Polartec® microfleece lining for serious warmth on the coldest, windiest days. All three keep the same hinged design, so you can drop coverage the moment you don't need it.
Balaclavas / ski masks faqs
For high-output days, the Single Balaclava keeps you covered without overheating. For a full season of everyday cold, the Double Balaclava strikes the balance. For genuinely brutal storm days, the Thermal Balaclava's Polartec® lining is the warmest option we make.
Close enough that we'd call it the same thing. A winter face mask or ski face mask usually means exactly what our balaclavas are built for: covering your head and face under a helmet in serious cold. The hinged design also means you can wear it as a lighter face mask alone when you don't need full head coverage.
Coverage. A balaclava or ski mask covers your whole head and face under a helmet. Our Neck Warmers and Neck Gaiter ranges cover your neck, chin and lower face only. If you're not sure which you need, our balaclavas are the call for the coldest, windiest days; neck warmers and gaiters suit everything milder.
Every Phunkshun Wear balaclava is made from post-consumer recycled fabric, with a PFC-free ECO-DWR finish for water repellence and, on the Thermal Balaclava, a Polartec® microfleece lining for serious warmth. All three tiers keep the hinged, helmet-friendly design.
