All of my fellow NS'ers out there with big heads, what balaclavas fit the watermelons you have for heads. I can't even wear a buff without having it be super tight around my face. I have some no name one from Costco currently but its worn out.

I've got the opposite problem, a tiny head. If you've got a watermelon I've got a pea. Cheers to fruits and veggies

Blackstrap. Pretty stretchy and they are invincible.

they are the company I have an eye on. I think my local shop carries them but I haven’t stopped in because i don’t really like their service. I would assume its very hard to screw up trying on balaclavas though

BS makes the best quality balas and hoods I’ve seen so far. They’re made out of bend Oregon which is where I’m at and they are a super nice group of peeps. Try one out, doubt you’ll be disappointed.

im not saying they aren’t quality, its just I don’t feel like having my face being super squished due to its size

many skate shops have them. i have 2 both bought at skate shops and they are big enough to get ur helmet under. they are made of fleece though, but i love them. check out CCS or something like that if you don't have a local skate/snowboardshop.

Got a blackstrap, it feels odd because its not a fabric really but I will get used to it. I like the hinge. My other one didn't do that

I personally have found that the neck only blackstraps are way too tight but the full head ones are the tits. fit perfectly under my helmet and is never cold. Also will take any kind of beating and never ices up.
