A functional multi-purpose piece of headgear, can be worn as a balaclava or folded up to form a cap or folded down to form a tube scarf. Lightweight merino wool construction, highly breathable, comfortable and moisture-wicking.
- Functions as a headover, cap and neck gaiter.
- Snug fit, the fabric is quite stretchy making these fit like a second skin.
- Flatlock seams, no thick folds that could cause discomfort.
- Weight 45 g / 1.6 oz. (S/M).
- 80/20 merino wool / polyester, 180 g/m2 / 5.3 oz/yd2.
- 19.5 micron.
The multifunctionality and light material make this a very versatile piece of kit. When you have a beanie, neck tube, balaclava (and everything in between) in a single package the L1 Balaclava is a no-brainer to pack along no matter when or where you´re heading. Naturally, this is at its strongest in the chilly and cold seasons, but even cool summer nights sometimes require some chill protection, especially when sleeping under the stars.
L1 - Base Layer
The first layer of the Särmä TST clothing system, tasked with moisture management. A good next-to-skin base layer keeps you feeling comfortable in any conditions to do this it needs to be lightweight and effectively moisture wicking. We use a lightweight merino wool blend for our base layers, natural and very functional material for this purpose.

High quality Merino wool
Made from 80% merino wool and 20% polyester, weight 180 g/m2 / 5.3 oz/yd2. The polyester content adds abrasion resistance to the otherwise quite weak wool. Merino wool is a fantastic choice for next-to-skin wear, most notably it feels good against the skin and retains it´s insulating properties even when soaking wet.
Mulesing free! All our merino wool products are made using mulesing-free certified merino wool.
Made in Lithuania.
Wash and care
This merino wool blend is machine-washable in 40 degrees Celcius (104 F), but washing is seldom necessary - wool cleans itself. Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp. When not in use, air them out and give them a good shake after that.
Carbon Footprint
The estimated amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the production of one single item is 2.6 kg CO2e. The estimation includes the entire production of the item, from the raw materials up until the finalized product exiting the factory. Read more about the calculation method.

PROS:
Well made with quality materials (fine merino wool), but do not expect a heavy weight woolen neck tube the danish (not sold here). Made of thin merino wool and well suited for low to medium activity but not passivity at very low temperatures. Will fit nicely under helmets. Multifunctional - will serve as balaclava, neck tube, scarf and hat.
CONS:
No ones really - unless you expect a heavy weight woolen neck tube.
SIZING:
I normally use hats in size 60. I have this balaclava in size L/XL which is a nice fit.

Just thought I'd share, ordered the small/med and fit perfectly. Tight fitting and very comfortable.
