So, I need a balaclava/facemask for this ski season and don't know what to get. I don't like ones that have wool or cotton material near the nose and mouth area, because they absorb everything and get soaked.

I've been looking at the nike pro combat hyperwarm hydropull hood, dakine balaclava, saga outerwear balaclava, yowie black diamond facemask, or the under armour facemask. What would you guys suggest to get?

I can't really talk for any other balaclavas but I love my TNF underballa balaclava. It's around 90% polyester and 10% elastane. And the elastic around the top of the bottom part (the part you pull over your face) ensures that it feels really close above your nose but doesn't fuck with your goggles.

Ridiculous

If you can get a hold of a sweet protection balaclava, get it

I have had my under armour one for a few years and love it. Pretty breathable, thin, and great at wicking. My only complaints are that the neck isn't very long and that mine smells like shit, but that's mainly because I use it so much
