Blackstrap Merino Expedition Hood

Full coverage and serious warmth come together in the Blackstrap Merino Expedition Hood, Blackstrap's warmest merino balaclava. It's a stretchy merino hood with an adjustable face hinge that fits easily under a helmet. Coverage adapts to conditions while the merino keeps you warm and dry.

Why we like it:

The adjustable face hinge lets you change coverage in seconds as conditions or effort change, without pulling the whole hood off.

Features and Functions:

Built with 230 GSM Nuyarn merino, 66% merino wool and 34% polyamide, it regulates temperature, breathes, and dries fast. The ExoHinge face hinge lets you quickly adjust your coverage as conditions and output change. Four-way stretch, flatlock seams, and an under-helmet fit reduce bulk and pressure points under helmets and goggles. The merino stays naturally fresh through intense effort, and the Nuyarn construction adds stretch, strength, and seam durability.

Bottom Line:

This is the balaclava for skiers, riders, and backcountry tourers who want full coverage and merino warmth under a helmet. It's built for the coldest days of the season.
