Product details

Karpos Alagna Balaclava: complete protection for mountaineering and ski mountaineering

The Karpos Alagna Balaclava is made from a breathable, warm, and stretchy fabric that wicks moisture, designed specifically for mountaineering and ski mountaineering. It covers the head, ears, neck, and lower face, leaving the eyes free: complete protection for windy, cold days at altitude. It is a ski mountaineering balaclava in One size with a net weight of 62 g.

Two fabrics for head and face

The construction uses two materials. The main fabric is made of 57% polyamide, 28% polyester, and 15% elastane; the front section is made of 85% polypropylene and 15% elastane. Polypropylene is a fiber that does not retain water, a useful feature in the areas most exposed to moisture. The elastane in both fabrics ensures the close fit needed for the balaclava to follow the movements of the head.

Technical ratings and recommended activities

In Karpos’s technical ratings, it delivers wind protection 4 out of 5, with thermal insulation and breathability both rated 3 out of 5. The brand gives it top marks for mountaineering and ski mountaineering, the two activities it was designed for. It is the piece to keep in your pack for windy ridgelines, cold descents, and days when a headband or beanie is not enough.
