Troubleshooting
Balaclava feels too tight
The Polartec® Power Stretch® Pro fabric is designed to be snug. If it feels excessively tight, ensure it is correctly positioned. If it remains uncomfortable, it may not be the right fit for your head size.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the fabric is clean and free from dirt or lint, which can obstruct airflow. Check that the balaclava is not saturated with sweat, which can temporarily reduce breathability.
Discomfort from seams
The balaclava features invisible seams for enhanced comfort. If you experience irritation, try adjusting the position slightly or ensure the inner lining is not bunched up.
