What is the Protium Balaclava?
The Protium Balaclava is a thermo gridded fleece balaclava that is designed to manage moisture and regulate heat effectively whilst protecting the face from cold weather.
The balaclava is ideally suited for use in mountain environments and exposed routes and works very well with a mountain shell hood, for maximum protection from the elements.
What is it made from?
Like the rest of Montane's Protium family, the Protium Balaclava is made with Thermo Grid brushed-back fleece, offering plenty of breathability and warmth for its weight.
Thermo Grid fleece is fantastic at regulating temperature, it helps wick away sweat and moisture from the skin, allowing you to stay comfortable during intense activity.
The soft fleece fabric is stretchy, allowing the balaclava to be tucked away into your baselayer, leaving no skin around your neck exposed to freezing conditions.
What are its features?
The Protium Balaclava has a double-thickness headband to provide extra protection in key areas of exposure.
An adjustable 'hinged' face covering makes wearing this balaclava comfortable, allowing you to tailor the level of protection depending on the changing weather conditions.
Weighing in at just 70g it's incredibly lightweight and has a low bulk construction, making it an excellent piece of emergency mountain kit to carry, just in case the weather turns.
Features
- Double layer of fabric on headband for extra protection over forehead and ears
- Adjustable 'hinged' face covering that can be pulled down or worn over face
