Le Bent Lightweight Balaclava 200

The Le Bent Lightweight Balaclava 200 is a versatile, 200gm merino-blend balaclava that delivers soft, breathable, itch-free protection for everything from bluebird spring laps to storm days in the trees.

Lightweight Merino Protection in Any Conditions

• Signature Merino Blend comfort: Crafted from Le Bent’s 200gm Signature Blend of rayon from bamboo, merino wool, and elastane for a luxuriously soft, itch-free feel right against your skin.
• Breathable warmth for mild to cold: The lightweight 200gm knit balances warmth and airflow, insulating on cold chairlift rides while venting heat on high-output laps and bootpacks.
• 4-way ultra-durable stretch: Advanced stretch knit and sculpted, face-mapped panels create a close, contoured fit that moves with you and sits smoothly under helmets and hoods.
• Ninja eye hinge design: A strategically stitched hinge at the eye opening lets you wear it multiple ways—full coverage over the nose, just over the mouth, or pulled down under the chin.
• Odour-resistant and quick drying: Merino’s natural odour resistance and moisture management keep the balaclava feeling fresh and dry, even during long days or multi-day trips.
• UPF 50+ sun protection: Built-in sun protection keeps your face and neck safer from harsh UV during high-alpine missions and spring touring.
• One-size, unisex fit: Adult unisex OSFA design with generous stretch fits comfortably on most head sizes without feeling tight or restrictive.

Ideal For

The Lightweight Balaclava 200 is ideal for skiers, snowboarders, tourers, runners, and winter hikers who want a single, do-it-all face mask. It excels in bright sun, cold wind, or dumping snow, and it’s slim enough to disappear under your helmet, hood, or beanie without bunching or pressure points.
