Balaclavas & balaclava hoods

Balaclavas, also known as ski masks, are the perfect protection against wind and cold

Not only soldiers, police officers, and motorcyclists appreciate the advantages of balaclavas. Hunters, anglers, and anyone who spends time outdoors in all kinds of weather also value them for mitigating adverse conditions.

Balaclavas: optimal protection and comfort in a wide range of situations

Balaclavas offer optimal protection and comfort in many situations – from tough field operations to everyday outdoor activities. Discover the range of possible uses and find the perfect balaclava for your needs.

Protection on military missions: Special equipment for soldiers

When it comes to ensuring camouflage and protection in harsh climates, balaclavas are indispensable in military gear. They protect your face from visible reflections and help you retain body heat even under extreme conditions. Balaclavas are designed for soldiers preparing for extended missions in the cold or at high altitudes, where the wind increases the risk of frostbite.

Indispensable for outdoor enthusiasts: warmth and comfort on the go

Not only when skiing in snow-covered mountains, but also on autumn hikes or when camping under the starry sky, balaclavas provide protection and warmth. Their moisture-wicking material and breathable properties make them an indispensable piece of equipment for anyone who loves nature and doesn’t want to be put off by cold weather.

Urban lifestyle: stylish and functional headwear

In the city, balaclavas have secured a firm place among commuters and outdoor fitness enthusiasts. They offer you a stylish solution to protect yourself from cold air on your way to work or during your morning jog in the park. Thanks to their versatile designs, they can easily be combined with an urban wardrobe.

Camping companions for every season

Balaclavas also prove to be indispensable pieces of equipment for campers. They not only protect you from the cold, but also from mosquitoes and other insects that become active at dusk or during the night.

Occupational safety: a reliable partner for industry and construction

On construction sites and in industrial work environments, balaclavas form part of personal protective equipment. They shield your face from dust, splinters and other potential hazards and are therefore an integral part of the safety concept in many professions.

In our extensive product range you’re sure to find the right companion for your trips. When choosing your new military tent, you should first answer the question of size: do you need a smart 1–2 person tent, or should it be a larger version of the Bundeswehr tent that can accommodate up to 5 people? Of course, we also offer spacious large tents if a 5-person tent does not meet your requirements. Next, you should clarify under what conditions you will be using the new military tent. Based on this, you should decide on the level of water and wind resistance as well as ventilation. Finally, especially in multi-person tents, the interior layout can also play an important role. You can choose between Bundeswehr tents that are divided into several sleeping cabins and those that provide a single space for all occupants. As you can see, the choice of your new military tent or Bundeswehr tent depends on various factors. For detailed product information, please refer to the comprehensive description with all the features of the respective item.

From a simple ski mask to special masks against cold and wind and sweat-absorbing masks for wearing under a helmet – our shop offers a wide range of different masks. Almost every model is available in black, olive and camouflage. The original ski masks have only a narrow slit for the eyes, but of course there are also masks with three holes for eyes and mouth. In addition, there are special balaclava designs that are, for example, equipped with a neoprene face shield. Naturally, we also stock head protectors, camouflage scarves and windstoppers that can be turned into masks with a single movement.

Which balaclava is right for me?

In addition to classic, single-color versions in muted tones, there are also white and more humorous models such as the Ghost and Skull balaclavas. The masks are also popular for skiing or snowboarding to keep the biting cold in higher ski areas away from the face.
