Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

Part of the appeal is the ability to be a ninja, an old west bank robber or a mexican wrestler, Don't worry, my wife shook her head at me. But seriously, I purchased the balaclava just in time for some sub-zero in the Poconos and it was perfect, not bulky but warm and comfortable. Everyone should have one, if only for that one short winter's burst.Being a ninja though is a nice side benefit.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

When bicycle commuting to work all-year-round, this balaclava lets you be prepared for whatever the whether may be...it doesn't matter if it is blisteringly cold, exceptionally windy, wet-snow coming down, etc., it helps you be prepared to face it straight-on. Fits nicely underneath the bike helmet. Hang it up and it is dry by the time work is over and ready again for the winter bike ride home. At first I felt it was rather pricey for a hat/scarf type of replacement, but I'm so glad I bought it. Hope they're available in the future if mine ever wears out. After one full winter of using it, I see very little wear and tear on it. Definitely recommend it to others.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

I use it for biking in the winter. I throw on some ski goggles and this and I am good to go in zero degree weather. As long as you have a jacket zipped around it the gap at the chin isn't a big deal, but it does fit a little odd.

Runs small and poor fit

Best Uses

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

Provides great protection for the parts it covers, but has some serious drawbacks. It barely fit over my size 7 3/4 head, and then was uncomfortably tight. Definitely more L than XL. I also agree with the other reviewer that under the chin it doesn't lay flat, leaving a gap. The Seirus combo clava has the same nice face mask while fitting larger heads much better.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

Bought this over the weekend. I have a head circumference of about 22" and got the S/M. It was a very snug fit. After wearing a while it was too snug. My other complaint was that the front bottom portion that covers the front part of your neck wouldn't lay down on the neck leaving a gap of about 2". So bottom line is the item is not sized properly. I am giving it 3 stars because it is otherwise well made, breathes well and seems very durably constructed. I am returning for the OR Gorilla Balaclava.

This product is great for warmth, but when I use it as a face mask, my glasses fog up every time I exhale.

Aside from that, great product.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

This product's biggest pro is that it is 2 layered and waterproof. The biggest downside is the area where your nose is. There is a slit cut so the bottom side of your nose(that little piece that sticks out in the picture above the breathing holes) is exposed to the air. That part looks odd(like you have a beak) when you wear it.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

A good cover for nasty winter weather. I got the largest size available, and it was still a little snug(i have a pretty large head & have trouble with just about ANY hats/headgear fitting). Overall it offers great protection, and the versatility helps. The nose/mouth vent is great too, I also have the UnderArmor ColdGear clava - which works well, but this clava is much better suited for the coldest/wind-iest weather conditions.

This was a gift for my 12 year old son. He loves this hat. It keeps him toasty warm and dry when he is playing in the snow and keeps him well protected when he is heading to school in cold weather.

Comments about Seirus Ultra Clava:

I bought a L/XL and it fits well. It fits best when your nose and mouth are covered. It says that there are three ways to wear it, and I'd say for my contours, there are 1.5 ways that fit well on me. But when it's cold outside, it's hard to complain because this is really warm and really windproof. I can comfortably walk home from work when it's -6 degrees F (like yesterday!). I also have the hood of my shell on for added protection.
