I first discovered airhole through a local shop in town. Bought their product, really enjoyed it. The item fit perfectly and allowed me to breathe easily. The downside? The mouth hole was a little silly.
I went to their website, discovered this item. This is by far the best balaclava I’ve ever used. I was skeptical on how easy breathing would be. It genuinely felt like there was just a hole cut out. It was just as easy to breathe. The upside for me on this was it kept my lips from feeling frozen unlike their other products. I went the entire day without pulling any part of the balaclava below my nose/mouth.
There’s still some snowboarding season left, but I can’t wait to use this again next season.
