The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

I took this hood out on different weather days to see how it stood up. Pretty great on a mild, sunny weather day. Wasn't too hot and helped keep the hair out of my face while riding. The material was perfect for under my helmet as it wasnt too heavy/ thick and didnt make me sweat.

Also took it out on a colder, windy day of riding. The face mask was great for keeping my face from freezing and was easy to pull up and down. Did not ice up super quickly like many face covers seem to. I did need a beanie along with the hood as the hood itself is not very warm, especially with the wind.

The material is super soft and feels good against your face. Doesn't chafe like some hoods do. Fits really well under a helmet.

Ideal for
  • Great for keeping face covered from biting winds. Easy to pull up and down.
  • The moisture from breathing doesnt instantly freeze solid like other hoods
  • Soft material, doesn't chafe
Not ideal for
  • Not meant to be a super warm hood. Would recommend a beanie with hood if its really cold.
  • Hood by hairline could be a bit longer to help cover the forehead more

The Blackstrap Hood is the ultimate balaclava facemask for skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobile riders. This high-performance accessory sets the industry standard in comfort, protection from the elements, and style.

This is a balaclava that I have been using for years and wear almost every single time I snowboard. The only exceptions are spring days where it is warm and sunny. It keeps the harsh wind and snow off your face as well as keeping your head warm. I also love how easy it is to put the facemask part... Read more

I think this hood is helpful for keeping the wind from going down the neck when skiing. It also helps protect against cold wind on the face. It fits snugly and will work with any helmet. It's easy to adjust to wear on or below the face.
Ideal for
  • This product helps cut the wind to the face when skiing.
  • This hood fits well under a helmet.
  • Fun color choices.
Not ideal for
  • Hard to breathe through and causes goggles to fog up.

Great piece of gear for a wide variety of uses. I love how easy it is to use as a face covering or only a hood. Keeps the ears warm!

Very Helpful and Knowledgeable
5 /5
I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!

I wanted to talk about how happy I am with my experience here at Curated and with my expert Bernard. Bernard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the equipment I was looking for, and provided different ideas on how I can make my skiing experience even more enjoyable! Bernard really is an amazing Ski Expert and I will definitely buy new gear from him from now on! Thanks Bernard! - John

No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!

He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!
