Airhole Balaclavas buying guide

Breathing and goggle fog

The Hinge Laser Drytech, Hinge Laser Thermacolour and Balaclava Laser Polar Fleece have laser-cut micro-airholes at the mouth, and the Airhood Laser Polar Fleece has strategically placed laser-cut micro-airholes. Airhole places them so you can breathe easily and to help reduce condensation and goggle fog.

Hinged balaclava or hood

The Hinge Laser balaclavas have a hinged face section: pull it down under your chin, or wear it up for full coverage. The Balaclava Laser Polar Fleece also has a hinged, ergonomic design to adjust the fit. The Airhood Laser Polar Fleece is a hood instead: its relaxed-fit hood layers over a helmet, and the built-in Airtube Ergo gives a snug fit around the face. For kids, the Airhood Junior Milk Fleece uses 4-way stretch to fit over a helmet.

Fabrics

Drytech is Airhole's lightweight fabric: it wicks moisture, dries fast and sits low profile under a helmet, for active days. Polar Fleece (92% polyester, 8% spandex on the 26-27 balaclava) is midweight, stretchy, breathable and moisture wicking. The kids' Milk Fleece (95% polyester, 5% spandex) is double-brushed and hydrophobic. Every Airhole piece on this page is one size, and the Airhood Junior is a junior size. You can try helmets and goggles on at any of our three stores to check them with a balaclava (helmets, goggles).
