Brandit Arctic Balaclava

Warm fleece balaclava with extended coverage

The Brandit Arctic Balaclava is a warm, multifunctional fleece balaclava for cold weather. Its extended fit covers the head, nape and neck, while the soft fleece feels comfortable against the skin. The opening can be adjusted using the drawcord and cord lock to suit the weather and your preferred level of coverage.

Covers the head, neck and nape

The extended fleece hood continues down around the neck and functions as an integrated neck warmer. This provides more consistent coverage than a traditional scarf, which can twist, come undone or leave gaps through which cold air can enter.

The balaklava also creates less bulk around the neck than a large folded scarf. This makes it easier to zip a jacket up fully and place the extended lower section inside it, providing better coverage between your headwear, neck and jacket.

Adjust the opening to suit the weather

The drawcord and cord lock allow you to adjust the opening around the face. Wear it as an open fleece hood, tighten it closer around the face or pull it down and use it as a neck gaiter or neck warmer. It can also be folded into a headband when you only need light coverage around the ears.

The fleece balaclava provides a warm, covering layer in cold, windy or snowy weather. However, the material is not certified as windproof or waterproof.

Soft and quick-drying fleece

The balaclava is made from 100% polyester fleece with a fabric weight of 250 g/m². The material is warm, skin-friendly, easy to care for and quick-drying. It is also lightweight and flexible, so it does not feel unnecessarily heavy or bulky around the head and neck.

When not in use, the balaclava can easily be folded or rolled up. It takes up little space in a jacket pocket, bag or backpack, making it convenient to carry when the weather changes.

For everyday wear and outdoor activities

The multifunctional design makes the Brandit Arctic Balaclava suitable for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, dog walking, outdoor work and everyday use during the colder months. Its simple design and classic colours make it easy to combine with different jackets and other winter clothing.

For a heavier alternative with two layers of fleece, see the Rothco 3-in-1 adjustable double-layer fleece balaclava. Its flexible 3-in-1 construction and adjustable fit provide additional warmth in cold weather.
