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... Read more
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

I've used a Blackstrap Hood Balaclava for multiple seasons now and don't know what I would do without it. This hooded balaclava is perfect to fit under helmets without feeling too bulky. The material is pretty breathable but still warm enough to wear on the colder days. I normally wear this until spring comes around and then switch to a... Read more
Ideal for

The Blackstrap Hood Balaclava offers a simple head and face covering in a one-size-fits-all design. I only wear Blackstrap balaclavas because they keep my head and face warm without ever needing to worry about it failing mid-ski day. Unlike other balaclavas, the Blackstrap Hood Balaclava features an overlapping hinge design that allows you to adjust the fabric over your mouth... Read more
Ideal for
  • Beautifully simple hinge system that allows the whole face to be covered
  • Wide range of color options to choose from
  • Easily washable
Not ideal for
  • Not made for super cold temps

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!

Kat was so helpful!
5 /5
Kat was so patient with all my questions and truly helped me figure out what gear would work best for me! She recommended me a good couple of boards and went into detail on each one and what the different features were and how they’d benefit me. As someone who buys for looks and pretty colors, I’m glad I had help to be confident in my purchase for my ride style and experience level!

I was unsure what ski gear to buy, but Noah settled all my worries. He was extremely knowledgeable and sent me a video explaining everything which gave the whole experience a more personal feel. I am very happy I matched with Noah because he was able to find the best skis for me and answered all my other questions!!

5 /5
As someone buying skis for the first time, but having skied for a few years Leo was incredibly helpful! He took into account what I prioritized but also explained why a suggestion might be out of my initial request. For example, he got ahead of my question on why bindings are expensive and why it is important to not only focus on the skis but the bindings as well.

Frankie really dialed in the board for me
5 /5
He has extensive knowledge, and was really able to find the perfect setup for me and my riding style as well as my bank account. Also was honest and kept me from making a purchase that I might regret. We talked for at least an hour and the whole time he was very helpful. All in all he really knows his stuff when it comes to getting you into the perfect set up. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Frankie.

Tyler was awesome!
5 /5
I’ve been using a board from 2005 for the last 4 or so years now. Finally decided it was time to upgrade but had no idea of what to upgrade to. He asked what I was looking for, and ended up narrowing it down to exactly what I need/want, to further my skills. He’s very knowledgeable and approachable, and overall very friendly. Was nice talking to Tyler and I’m super stoked to get up on the mountain.

5 /5
I have changed my boarding style, and a few years ago i bought a board that does not match my style or weight. I explained everything to Ryan and what I wanted to look to do. He listened and gave great advice and explained his DIRECT experience with some of the products, why he liked them, and why he liked them for me. I felt like he steered me in the direction he thought best for me, not just the highest commission, which ultimately made me hit the add to cart button.
