What makes it special?
Finding a well-fitting performance balaclava, designed specifically for high intensity outdoor sports is not so easy. One made with 100% super fine merino wool at this level of technicality and comfort is quite unique. The Desoli Thermal Balaclava is the ultimate cross breed between natural comfort and technical performance.
How does it work?
Solid Gridmerinoâ„¢ is an extraordinary fabric. It has a technical quality rarely seen in 100% wool fabrics. The grid construction builds a layer of air in the fabric, providing both warmth and breathability. It has a high warmth-to-weight ratio and dries quickly. Merino wool retains its level of insulation even if it becomes humid or wet, perfect for a balaclava that easily gets affected by the humidity of your breath. The face cover can be folded up or down.
Solid Gridmerino™ is produced by Reda in Northern Italy. The wool is 100% ZQ-certified super fine merino 17,5µm from Redas own farms in New Zealand. By owning the entire production chain, Reda can ensure that animal welfare as well as environmental standards are met.
When should I use it?
Desoli Thermal Balaclava is designed for outdoor sports in cold weather: Alpine skiing, ice climbing, ice skating, cross country skiing or winter running. The low profile seams and precise fit makes it perfect to wear under a helmet.
This garment is made with the future in mind using materials fit for recycling. Please return it to Houdini when it is eventually worn out and the raw materials can be used again. This way we reduce the need for virgin resources, decrease environmental impact and waste streams.
