The fit is really good, and it works well whether you wear it with or without a hat. Its a bit thin, but that can actually be an advantage in milder weather, as it prevents you from overheating.

Hooded balaclava is well made, with neatly finished, wide seams and a soft, pleasant feel. The material is odorless, and the balaclava is ready to use right out of the package. The balaclava is comfortable to wear and fits well under my bicycle helmet. For light protection on cooler days, especially as a layer under other gear, this balaclava is a high-quality natural product.

Workmanship is solid. Breathing through the fabric is easy, and its comfortable to wear whether pulled up over the mouth or worn down. It provides enough warmth for transitional seasons, though it may be a bit too thin for the depths of winter. On the plus side, the thin design makes it very comfortable to wear.
