Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Merino 150 Balaclava

Designed for demanding mountain days, the Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Merino 150 Balaclava delivers lightweight warmth and versatile protection against cold alpine conditions.

Made from a breathable blend of merino wool and recycled polyester, it naturally manages moisture, resists odour build-up and dries quickly when you're working hard on the mountain. The lightweight 150gsm fabric provides comfortable next-to-skin warmth without adding bulk, making it ideal for wearing beneath a climbing or ski helmet. An adjustable hinge construction allows you to adapt face coverage as conditions change, while UPF 30 protection offers added defence against strong high-altitude sun. From winter mountaineering and alpine climbing to ski touring, it's an essential cold-weather layer for keeping your head, neck and face protected.
