The Italians probably saw the infamous USGI cold weather face mask and decided to one-up the US by making something even more fetishized and hilarious. Now you can wear something that effectively baits your friends into telling you to zip it.
The elephant in the room is obviously the zipper-enclosed mouth. While it allows you to open and close the mouth area for really cold conditions, it’s equally hilarious as it is functional with a nylon flap behind the zipper so your lips or dare we say tongue can’t freeze to the zipper. Like other balaclavas, this features a mono-eye-hole so your POV of the action isn’t hindered.
The poly/wool mix is lightweight yet also warm enough for colder climates, and is a delightfully off-white color to both blend in with the snow and give off seriously insane Jason-esque vibes when you don it.

Seriously one of the best balaclavas ever. I really like the material, it's light and feels good on the face, but it's still plenty warm enough.

Wife hates it. Tells me to stop wearing it in public because it smells bad. I won't, however. It's warm, I'm not trying to dox myself, and unwanted interactions have ceased. 10/10 -recommended.
