Technical balaclava Windproof 100% GORE® WINDSTOPPER® fabric BUFF

Technical windproof balaclava made of 100% GORE® WINDSTOPPER® fabric, with a soft fleece lining that covers the entire head. Wind resistant.

Balaclava designed to provide protection in cool outdoor environments and situations with strong or moderate wind, as it incorporates Gore® Windstopper windproof membrane that blocks the passage of wind, in addition to repelling water, preventing it from coming into contact with the skin and increasing the worker's feeling of cold. It offers comprehensive protection for the neck and head in a single piece. The fabric of this windproof balaclava is made from recycled polyester.

It is very soft and pleasant to the touch and has no seams to make it completely waterproof while also increasing the... worker's sense of comfort. In addition, it is breathable and shows good moisture management that prevents sweat from accumulating and therefore cooling down.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Ergonomic adjustment, face.
• Comfort seams through ultrasonic technology: fabrics bonded by thermofusion to achieve an optimal fit and prevent skin irritation.
• Small laser perforations around the ear area to help with hearing.
• Laser hole on the nose and small laser perforations around the mouth to facilitate breathing, avoid humidity, and reduce fogging of glasses.
• Available in two sizes: M / L (56-58 cm) and L / XL (59-62 cm) .
• 100% polyester.

RESISTENTE AL VIENTO Fabric made with Gore Tex® technology designed to block the passage of wind while maintaining breathability and comfort.

WATER REPELLENT Resistant to moisture and water penetration.

BONDED SEAMS Seamless bonding used to join fabrics through bonding technology (pressure and heat) to achieve a perfect fit and seal while avoiding the friction of traditional seams with the skin.

BREATHABLE Tissue structure that allows sweat and vapor to be transferred out of the body through the tissue itself while also allowing air to flow.

AGUJEROS DE RESPIRACIÓN Laser-cut holes to improve breathability.

LASER-CUT HOLES IN EARS Laser-cut holes, strategically placed in the ear area to enhance hearing.

COMPOSITION

96% Polyester, 4% PTFE

GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER®

In order to ensure high comfort in cold and windy conditions, garments made with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® products are completely windproof and offer maximum breathability. The fully windproof and extremely breathable membrane prevents wind from passing through and facilitates sweat evacuation. The combination of protection and breathability minimizes the cooling effect of the wind and reduces the risk of overheating the body. The durable treatment of the outer fabric increases the water resistance of the garment.
