This Balaclava was great during this year’s rifle season. It didn’t obstruct my field of vision and kept me warm.

Balaclava

I sat in a tree in Northern Michigan and 34° windy conditions for 10 hours and this helps keep me warm. I give it a strong recommendation.

Not for small heads

It says one size first all, but I have a small head (7 1/8) it's a little big. I'll just wear it over a ball cap.

Size Matters!

I’m a huge fan of Sitka gear! However, the “OSFA” is not entirely true. I have both the lightweight and heavy weight balaclava and both are way too big for me. I have a small head, so it doesn’t fit tight. It would be nice if you offered SM/Med or LG/XL options. With that said, I’m still dedicate to team Sitka.
