L/XL runs large
"Went with the recommended sizing and it fits around the head, the lower face area is weirdly large. It's an odd design choice, but in the future I'll be sizing down one."

Balaclava
"Great product. Good quality."
"The perfect balaclava, keeps you warm in winter and breathable in summer. Fits well to head and is very versatile ."
"These things are amazing. I get them for all my gate guards. They are great in the cold and heat at well. I guess its obvious why they're great in the cold. However, they're good in the heat because they are breathable and dry very quickly. This keeps mosquitos and the sun off of people in humid areas. They are also easy to tuck in a uniform or shirt and wear underneath helmets."

Best balaclava
"It is the best balaclava money can buy. It is expensive but it last. It breathes well during hot summer months. BUY A SMALL. I previously bought a large knowing it would be loose but still just get the small."
