Outdoor Research Polarverse Balaclava

The Polarverse Balaclava features recycled materials and windproof GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER® technology to keep winter winds and harsh weather off your skin while backcountry touring, alpine climbing, or hitting the trail for a cold-weather training session.

Windproof GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER Technology For The Coldest, Windiest Environments

The Polarverse Balaclava is built for high-exertion winter pursuits, delivering adaptable coverage and technical protection in cold, wind, and snow.

Engineered with WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX LABS, this balaclava provides windproof, water-resistant performance while remaining breathable for comfort during high-output activities. The main body features recycled polyester for warmth, while stretch fleece panels enhance mobility. A removable face piece with a mesh nose and mouth port ventilates while pushing the pace, and the modular design with a hook-and-loop closure allows for easy adjustments based on conditions. Moisture-wicking properties keep perspiration in check, ensuring dry comfort in dynamic environments.

From alpine ascents and backcountry tours to winter bike commutes and frigid trail runs, the Polarverse Balaclava delivers technical versatility and reliable protection for any cold-weather challenge.
