Identity? Concealed. Frosted tips? On full display. We are sure that the mesh top of the balaclava is meant to keep your head cool, but the added bonus is that your 60 dollar frosted tips will be fully visible. There’s no better way to hide your identity while also letting the world know that you peaked in the late 2000’s.
'FROG' in this case means Flame resistant organizational gear. During OIF/OEF, a lot of military garments ended up switching over to FR materials due to their wider availability and ease of integrating into combat uniforms. At first, there were layers that went underneath pre-existing combat uniforms, like masks, gloves, and undies. Eventually, it just made sense to make everything FR. And since the marines are special (interpret that how you want), they got a few special layering garments as well.
Enter the FROG balaclava, made just for the USMC
Designed with a mesh liner to comfortably fit underneath a helmet, the FROG balaclava’s flame resistant Para-aramid and PBI fabric won’t drip or melt regardless of heat. Plus the hinged face guard can quickly fold down when you need to quickly kiss the homies goodnight.

My new fishing mask and I love it took it on a 12hr deep sea trip 2 days ago and didn’t take it off once prevented my neck from getting sun burnt also kept my face and neck warm early in the morning
In the cold winter of Camp Leatherneck, I snagged a bunk in the tent right next to an air pipe. It so happens this air pipe had a hole cut into it, with tons of wind. Unbeknownst to me, that same pipe was pumping out unfiltered air and I soon had breathing issues from all of the dust flying into my face. End result was chronic coughing with green-weenie mucous and blood. The solution was to use the FROG balaclava issued to me during CIF gear runs. Lo and behold, gear worked and I never had to deal with that again.
Somewhere between AFG and US, I lost that beloved balaclava and never saw it again. Imagine my surprise to find that Kommandostore had something nearly identical. While the top part of the balaclava had a mesh, this balaclava vents but is not 100% identical. Not a big issue, but it's pretty darn close.
Fit is great, stretches for my large head, and is just as comfortable to wear as the issued gear.
Everything I hoped it would be. I am a fuel driver and will be wearing this on cooler days.
Arrived in good condition, fits well
