Balaclavas

Balaclava

The classic balaclava, also known as a balaclava helmet or ski mask, is a popular type of cloth headgear that covers the entire head while exposing only part of the face. Often, only the eyes—or the eyes and mouth—are left uncovered. However, a traditional woolen balaclava can be rolled up into a hat to cover just the crown of the head or folded down into a collar around the neck. Widely used as part of military combat uniforms in many armies worldwide, balaclavas are also popular in various outdoor activities, particularly winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. A typical balaclava effectively protects the face from cold wind and other elements while helping to retain warmth. It can also be used to conceal the wearer's identity. The Military 1st online store offers a wide selection of traditionally knitted balaclavas, as well as modern versions made from cotton or spandex. These are available in different styles, colours, and camouflage patterns from manufacturers like Helikon-Tex. Thanks to this variety, customers can easily find the right balaclava to suit their needs and environment.
