Merino Wool Hood Balaclava

Millions of athletes have trusted our original Hood Balaclava to keep their faces warm through blizzards, bluebird laps, and everything in between. Now, the Merino Hood ExoHinge™ takes that legacy to the next level. Made with premium Nuyarn® merino wool, it delivers the same trusted coverage and mobility with upgraded softness, odor resistance, and superior thermal regulation, ushering in the next evolution of face warmth perfection.

Developed in New Zealand, Nuyarn® technology redefines what merino can do. By removing the traditional twist from the yarn, it creates a fabric with better stretch and recovery, improved moisture management, and more consistent warmth. The result is merino that’s stronger, longer-lasting, and more comfortable, while still delivering the natural odor resistance and soft feel merino is known for.
