Close fit: This balaclava sits close to the skin for exceptional warmth without impacting breathability.

The Summit Lhotse Balaclava has been created specifically for mountaineering and high-alpine expeditions. It's so light, you'll hardly notice you're wearing it. But you'll be glad you are because it features wind-blocking WindWall™ forehead panels and FUTUREFLEECE™ fabric technology, which manages moisture and provides all the warmth you need. There's cosy synthetic insulation in the earband and front panel, too. It retains heat but allows sweat to escape, keeping you cool and dry when things get a little hot under the collar. You can wear this balaclava comfortably under a hood, and there's a special mouthpiece that allows you to breathe.
