This is nice wool and it's VERY warm although it's very thin! My only problem with it is that it's HUGE. I think they should make more than one size. I bought this for my husband who works outdoors and after very little it's all stretched out and he has to keep readjusting it (causing more stretching). I tried washing it in hot/cold and now it has pilling all over it. I think I'll try to sew it to make it smaller just so he can get some use out of it.

Let me start off by saying that i have a big noggin. My head is size 25 1/2 inch around which equates to an 8 hat size. This is typically a size 2xl hat. This balaclava is not even tight on my head (good for me, probably bad for most people). Also, the wool is a fine type material and not super heavy, which is just what i was looking for. I bought this specifically for camping and would wear a heavier 100% wool watch cap on top (DLA 835-2672-9201 , RN 93084). My suggestion is, if you have a large heard, and need a good balaclava, this will do.

Makes a difference on those below 30 degree days (above too!!!) Particularly effective on the chin and neck under your helmet. Increases fogging if helmet not well vented, but permits operating your bike in the colder temps...

Honest reviews on Minus33 Merino Wool Midweight Balaclava

So far Minus33 is the only Merino wool that I have worn (except socks) and it doesn't feel like wool at all. I forget that I even put it on. Montana at minus 7% F was the proof for me. No more cheap long-johns from wal-mart for this Florida boy.

The label does say it is "100% Superfine Merino Wool" but after receiving and inspecting it, I'm not entirely convinced that in China "100% Superfine Merino Wool" isn't a trade name for some wool blend fabric. I haven't performed any thread analysis, nor do I plan to, but I'm betting that the thin and stretch/recover nature of this garment is due to a polysomething blend material.

If I were planning serious outdoor subfreezing use, I'd be disappointed. As is, I'm just mildly upset with myself for expecting more from an inexpensive imported wool garment.
