I ordered this after reading a bunch of reviews on all the major merino brands. I have experience with Ibex and like their shirts. The deciding factor in this purchase was price, around $20. The quality of the wool is great and I am a bit obsessed with all things merino. This is a lightweight balaclava, and i wore it with an additional merino cap. I was a bit disappointed by the fit though. It was loose around the opening, and does not stay up over my nose. In addition, the material around the sides of the opening buckles, letting cold air in. I will still use this for colder than cool weather, but I prefer my merino neck gaiter for when temps get into the low teens and single digits. The fit hugs my face better and it is a double layer making it heavier. The Ibex balaclava easily makes a nice base layer with the gaiter over it if it is frigid or windy. Reviews indicate that the smartwool version may be more form fitting.Very warm, can breath through it fine, can pull over head around neck without being strangled. Non itchy, non smelly, compact.
