Benefits and Features of Wearing a Seirus Balaclava

Superior Warmth Without the Bulk

Seirus balaclavas are made using Micro Fleece, which is thinner and softer than traditional fleece, providing warmth without adding bulk. This makes it perfect for layering under helmets or other winter gear, ensuring you stay warm without sacrificing mobility. The moisture-wicking properties of Micro Fleece also keep sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable, whether you're hiking or skiing.

Advanced Protection with Dynamax™ Technology

For those seeking wind-blocking and stretchy comfort, Seirus balaclavas incorporate Dynamax™ fabric. This lightweight material offers exceptional warmth while being breathable and moisture-wicking. It blocks the wind while allowing for freedom of movement, making it ideal for winter sports or long outdoor workdays.

Versatile Combo Balaclavas for Multi-Purpose Use

Seirus also offers Combo Balaclavas, which combine different materials to maximize protection. For example, the Microfleece Balaclava with Neofleece® Face Mask provides a 4-in-1 solution, acting as a helmet liner, balaclava, facemask, and neck-up. The Polartec® Power Dry® Micro Fleece used in the balaclava offers 4-way stretch for comfortable warmth, while the Neofleece® Face Mask blocks wind and cold, making this a versatile option for extreme conditions and varying activities.

Lightweight Designs with Maximum Coverage

Despite their high-performance construction, Seirus balaclavas remain lightweight, ensuring you stay comfortable during long hours outdoors.

Durable Construction for Extreme Cold Conditions

Designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, Seirus balaclavas are built with durability in mind. The Neofleece® material offers windproof and waterproof protection, ensuring that your face stays shielded from the elements while the rest of the balaclava uses stretchable, durable materials that allow for repeated use, season after season.

Breathable and Moisture-Wicking Performance

Even in cold temperatures, staying dry is essential for comfort.
