Balaclava, convertible or hood
The Soft Lux and Merino Wool Blend Convertible Balaclavas switch between a full balaclava and a neck gaiter, the Power Fleece Convertible Balaclava has a convertible, multifunctional design, and Bula calls the older Merino Convertible Balaclava a 3-in-1 that layers easily under a helmet. The Sherpa Hood and Therma-Comfort Hood are full-coverage hoods with a drawcord that fit over a helmet. For kids, the Therma-Comfort Balaclava fits under a helmet and the Fleece Over Hood goes over one.
Fabrics
The Merino Wool Blend is 84% polyester and 16% merino wool, with a brushed micro-polyester interior that Bula describes as no-itch. The Power Fleece pairs a Speed Dry upper (87% polyester, 13% spandex) with a Polartec recycled polyester micro fleece lower. The Soft Lux is a 280 gsm stretch knit (81% polyester, 13% rayon, 6% spandex). The Sherpa Hood is 100% polyester high-pile sherpa fleece. The Therma-Comfort hood and kids' balaclava are 87% REPREVE recycled polyester and 13% spandex, brushed inside, with a UPF 50+ rating from Bula. The kids' Fleece Over Hood is 100% recycled polyester double-brushed fleece, with dino spikes on Beige and bear ears on Lavender and Safari.
Sizes
The Soft Lux, both hoods and the kids' pieces are one size. The Merino Wool Blend and Power Fleece Convertible Balaclavas come in S/M and L/XL: check the size chart on the product page, and between two sizes, try both. You can try helmets on at any of our three stores (helmets).
