Lightweight Coefficient LT Balaclava for breathable warmth on alpine and ski tours
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This balaclava is my go-to for cold, high-output days. The Polartec Power Grid fleece is warm yet super breathable, so I don’t overheat when I’m skinning or climbing. It fits comfortably under a helmet and packs down so small that I forget it’s in my pack until I need it."
When the wind bites and temps drop, the Coefficient LT Balaclava is our lightweight shield. Built from Polartec Light Weight Power Grid fleece, it offers a balance of warmth, breathability, and stretch—perfect for ski tours, alpine ascents, and any cold-weather mission. The grid construction traps heat efficiently while letting excess moisture escape, keeping us dry and comfortable when working hard.
Its low-profile design fits seamlessly under a helmet or hood, and the smooth face fabric layers easily without bunching. At just 28 grams, it disappears into a pocket until the moment we need full-face protection from the elements. Whether we’re traversing a windblown ridge or ripping skins at dawn, it’s a small piece of gear that makes a big difference in comfort.

Lightweight material
The material is lighter than expected. It doesn’t really say in the description so I wasn’t sure when I ordered. It also fits super high and it wasn’t comfortable on my eyes. Ended up returning it for that reason.

Great fit, premium materials
This is a great piece. I love the feel! It keeps me warm and breaths well so it doesn't overheat. I have an average size head and it fits great. If you have a big head it may be a bit tight.

Way too small…
Great material but wow is this thing small. My head size is 22” and it is super super tight on me. Do wish the opening was elastic so it could be pulled down under the chin if needed.

SO Small
I wear a XL helmet, 59cm head and was hesitant to order the unisex size. Should have trusted my gut... I could barely get it around my head! Nice material though, will likely gift to my GF so its not wasted.

Very small
I have another Black diamond balaclava that is great, because it has a feature where you can pull the entire face piece down under your chin when needed, or move it back to cover up your entire nose.. This one just has a tiny hole that is too small to expose your mouth during high aerobic activities.

Tight
I let a smaller human use them on a ski trip and they had no complaints. I, with my medium helmet sized head, found it rather tight. Make some sizes please.

Very Tight
Material 5/5, Fit 1/5. Material is light, very breathable and soft on the skin. However, the balaclava is sewn so that the covering cannot be pulled down to expose your mouth and chin. It is an extremely tight fit around the head and face area. The top portion fits snug right under my eye brows and the bottom is snug over my nose. For reference my head circumference is 56cm.
