The CORE Balaclava combines a traditional balaclava hood with a moveable face mask providing full coverage as-needed. The face mask can be pulled up or worn down, but is fully connected at the sides of the head. The mask features a nose wire for customizable comfort and fogging prevention. 

The CORE Balaclava is made with Polartec® Wind Pro® fleece that is soft, stretchy and breathable. The tightly knit exterior is resistant to wind and snow. 

The innovative design of this balaclava is patent pending.

The Core Balaclava integrates with cold weather goggles from the US Military Authorized Protective Eyewear List (APEL) with minimal skin exposure, and the fabric does not bunch up under the goggles. It's designed to fit snugly on the head under the Army Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) without causing discomfort due to fabric bunching or bulky seams.

The portion covering the neck is long enough to be tucked into the collar of an Army issued cold weather jacket or parka. It will stay tucked during moderate physical activity (e.g., rucking, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing).  

The CORE Balaclava is Cold Operations Required Equipment.
