Review for model:

Size: L/XL

The balaclava is lightweight, comfortable, and takes up very little space when folded. It fits well on the head, and most importantly, after lowering the bottom edge of the opening to the chin for easier breathing, the upper part still stays above the eyebrows and does not slip down over the eyes.

Review for model:

The balaclava is thin but no doubt solid and of good quality, and wraps well around the nape and the neck. No doubt this will be useful to me for days spent in the open wind. It is very enveloping and, having an average-sized head, I find it quite tight. I will try to stretch it a little in case of prolonged wear.

Great balaclava. Wicks moisture out very well, works well while riding a motorcycle. After a month, I ordered another one because it has good quality and price.

While looking for a balaclava for motorcycling in motorcycle shops, I found the right one on Military. The L/XL size fits my head perfectly. You can wear it with your nose covered or under your nose. Nice long collar protects the neck well. I definitely recommend it with full confidence.

I considered a bigger size, but I chose the smaller one so the balaclava would fit better while cycling and it was a good choice. The opening for the eyes and nose is hemmed, so it doesn't fray, although it's not very elastic. It's best to put headphones on before putting on the balaclava. Provides thermal comfort up to about 2-3 degrees on a bike, and probably also below zero when walking. Breathes well, doesn't cause excessive sweating.

The balaclava protects well in frost – insulates against cold and wind. Exhalation doesn’t cool it and there’s no frost build-up. Works well with goggles. Size may be too small for people with a head circumference of 57-58, it’s quite tight, so worth choosing a bigger one – but for me that's not a problem. Can be worn under the nose. I have no comparison with more expensive models so I give 4 stars for price-quality ratio.

Fits well to the face, comfortable, doesn't press.

Great and you can see the high quality of the material. I honestly recommend it.

Very comfortable and pleasant to use.

Again: no detailed dimensions for each size in the description. I chose L/XL (the largest) and for a head circumference of 58-59 cm it fits perfectly. You can wear it with it over your nose or under your chin. Works great under a motorcycle helmet, nothing bothers. I rate breathability as very good. I'm very pleasantly surprised that a Polish brand has released a good and cheap thermal balaclava.

Comfortable and well made.

Nice material, doesn’t absorb moisture.

Perfect for temperatures below zero, comfortable and doesn't absorb moisture. Fits a larger head (62 cm circumference).

Great balaclava. The material breathes very well, it's comfortable and pleasant to the touch. One of my favourites.

Very good balaclava model. Fits the head perfectly, does not cause irritation. The material breathes well even in sub-zero temperatures. I tested it at -10°C – it didn't feel very warm, but it did not gather moisture near the mouth and nose, which makes for high wearing comfort. The price is also very attractive.
