About this deal
Burton is a snowboarding brand, but because this balaclava isn’t too tight-fitting, it is ideal for hiking and camping as well. It has a stretch face coving for comfort and breathability, which gives you lots of freedom of movement. This is a balaclava you don’t feel like a bank robber in if you are just heading to the shops.
It has UPF 50+ UV protection and is treated with an antimicrobial coating to keep the stink away. The four-way stretch fabric also gives you great mobility. It also comes in your choice of patterns or solid colors, and a kid-specific version.Masks are no longer a requirement everywhere, although some resorts are still requiring face coverings on gondolas, in restaurants, retail shops, and more. And, it’s always a good idea to travel with one, especially if you’re traveling to a rental property, resort, or somewhere in big crowds. The fabric used to manufacture BUFF® Safety arc-rated clothing has been tried and tested under the American ASTM F1506-15 and ASTM F1959/ F1959M-14e1 standards to determine the characteristic of the electric arc (ATPV) of the materials exposed to electric arc hazards and related terms. With a customizable fit, UPF 50+, and an antimicrobial finish, this one should be a strong choice for the chairlift this season.
The BUFF has a 50 UPF rating, four-way stretch, and seamless construction. What we loved most in testing is its versatility and durability. (As a skier, I’m pretty sure I own at least 10 of these, most of which I’ve owned for 4+ years.)People often ask why not just use a hat and a scarf or buff instead of an all-in-one hiking balaclava. There are some situations where a hat and scarf may be better suited, but balaclavas are just more convenient and offer the best warmth and wind protection. Balaclavas Vs Buffs
