Backcountry Pines Microgrid Ultra-Lt Baselayer Balaclava Top - Women's

Ultimate coverage and versatility with the Pines Microgrid Ultra-Lt Baselayer Balaclava Top

"I love that this baselayer is made with hair management in mind so I can focus on the run ahead, instead of what my hair is doing." —Gearhead® Expert Jo

Wicking, warm, and odor-resistant, the Pines Microgrid Ultra-Lt Baselayer Balaclava Top is a winter essential we won't leave for the hill without. We crafted this unique, ultralight baselayer from a stretchy blend of recycled polyester and spandex to keep us moving in warm, dry comfort, and outfitted it with thumbholes and a built-in balaclava hood to bolster our defense against icy conditions.

Wow! I can't believe how warm this is!

Familiarity:: I've put it through the wringer

I bought this because of the attached balaclava to the hood on this garment. I'm thrilled with it! I've worn it every day since I got it when it was cold. The balaclava stays perfectly in place due to the hood, and this protects my nose and mouth from icing up or drying out. It is amazingly warm very lightweight fabric. You put it on and think there's no way it will help much, but it work with just a T-shirt if it's not extremely cold. If it is extreme, it works great under a well-padded jacket. I've used this every day on my hour-long walk unless the days were over 45 or 50, as then I get too warm with it. I highly recommend this product!
