Troubleshooting
Balaclava feels too tight or loose
The elasticated finish is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight, try stretching it gently before wearing. If it feels loose, ensure it is positioned correctly over the head and neck.
Fleece liner feels scratchy
Wash the balaclava before first use according to care instructions. This should soften the fleece. Ensure no debris is trapped in the fibers.
Reduced wind protection
Ensure the balaclava is pulled up fully and covers all exposed areas of the face and neck. Check for any gaps or poor seals, especially around the edges.
