    Too Little Material

    By Russ CO

    Pros

    • Size

    Cons

    • Too small

    Best Uses

    • Mountaineering

    Comments about Seirus Thermax Headliner Balaclava:

    Great material BUT.. they cut corners on size (amount of material to cover one's neck). Maybe it's good for a child or someone or medium build but, when compared with REI's liner, it has far less material available to cover one's neck. I recommend that you take a close look at size between the two. For me, the REI liner works much better.

    • Sizing:
    • Feels half size too small

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Serious Protection Without Being Bulky

    Comments about Seirus Thermax Headliner Balaclava:

    I use this for my daily bike commute through Chicago regardless of the weather. This puppy keeps me warm down into the low teens at over 20 mph. It can get a funk after a lot of use, but that's what washing machines are for. I like the slightly shorter length, as it's super-thin material still has to fight for real estate with long underwear and thermal top layered underneath a fully-zipped cycling jacket. Unless you plan on riding down into the single digits, this is the right balaclava for you.

      Comments about Seirus Thermax Headliner Balaclava:

      Works great as an under helmet alternative to the thicker water/wind proof models that get a bit spendy. If you need a liner for a dry fall ride, this is the one.

        I use mine 3-5 times per week in the winter time under my hockey helmet when playing outdoors. I also use it when winter camping underneath my normal hat to maximize warmth. Sleeping with it on in the mummy bag adds more warmth. very lightweight and packable when it's not on your head.

        good for cold weather running

          Comments about Seirus Thermax Headliner Balaclava:

          I'm a distance runner and purchased this for cold weather running. It's perfect for my objectives-lightweight, multi-use meaning it can either go around my neck, over my head or over my mouth, and it provides just the right amount of warmth. It wasn't too tight around my face and it didn't squeeze my earbuds. I have a small face so it may be too tight if you have a large frame, it is a one size fits all.

            Comments about Seirus Thermax Headliner Balaclava:

            I used this balaclava above the tree line on Humphreys Peak in Flagstaff, AZ this weekend. The temperature the night before at camp (11,000') was well below freezing, and as we neared the peak (12,600') the wind was was pretty fierce. When my ears got to hurting from the cold, I ducked behind a rock and donned the balaclava and was instantly protected and warmed. When not in use it was easy to stuff it into my pants pocket.
