As many reviews already stated, the hood may be somewhat larger than expected. This is not an issue for me, as this means it can be comfortably worn over another hat / cap for extra protection against wind and cold weather. Happy with this purchase.

A really great impression. Very warm, and I love the built-in face mask. You can also pull it over your ears under the hood, so you instantly have 2 layers against the cold if you're sensitive to it. The drawstring also keeps the whole thing snugly in place. I'm really thrilled with this item, and the price is absolutely great too. I do have to say, though, that despite being one size, it's really only suitable for medium to larger heads. My girlfriend tried it on, and the hood was clearly too big for her.

Top notch, perfect! Very good quality/price ratio, thick and sturdy. Good product. I recommend it, the only small downside—which doesn't stop you from using it—is that it's not available in different sizes.

The quality is thick and I find it interesting that this balaclava is also versatile, with the neck and collar well covered. No doubt this will be useful to me for days spent in the open wind.

Practical and compact cagoule. I am not giving it 5 stars because I find the scarf a little too loose: I would prefer it to be well fitted against my face, but that's not the case. It's not a big issue, since I can wear a small scarf or neck warmer underneath, which actually adds extra insulation. I recommend using it this way, as a complement to other protections, rather than on its own.

The hood is of very good quality. For me, a woman of average build, its size is just right, unlike most hoods — this one goes much further than just to the middle of the head. When the drawstring is tightened, it covers the forehead and cheeks well. An additional scarf or neck warmer effectively protects the neck from the wind. I don't like wearing hats, so this is a great alternative for me. The khaki color is just like in the photo.

A versatile scarf-hood that can replace a scarf, although at very low temperatures (below -5°C) the fleece is too thin to properly protect the head. The hood is large enough that you can easily wear any hat under it. In the neck area, an air layer forms, and the extra space allows, for example, wearing a thin merino neck gaiter underneath. When folded, it doesn't take up much space in a backpack or bag. I recommend it as an additional warming layer to a neck gaiter and hat in severe frosts, or as the main protection for temperatures down to -5°C.

Practical hood made of fleece. Well designed. It matches any sweatshirt or jacket. The olive color is fine.
