Description
Description
Tired of warm, half-frozen mush around your mouth when wearing a balaclava on cold winter days? The Comet Balaclava can help you out, big time. Duckworth's proprietary Comet fabric is natural-technical mash-up, combining a Montana-grown Merino Wool outer layer and a recycled polyester inner layer. Why the combo? Polyester is hydrophobic, meaning it will wick sweat, humid breath, and moisture right off your skin and into the hydrophilic wool layer; wool chemically begins to get even warmer when introduced to water and water vapor, thus explaining why the Comet Balaclava will have your face and head feeling dry and toasty even in the nastiest, coldest, most-humid conditions. By the way, Comet is soft to the touch, perfect for resting on your chin or over your mouth and nose (or a bald head, as is the case with some of the Duckworth staff!)

Sizing & Wool Care
Sizing & Wool Care
NEW SIZING, FIT & FABRIC INFORMATION: You spoke and we listened - following ample customer feedback, we've increased the front and back lengths on these top-performing Merino Wool base layer crews. Additionally, we've slightly increased the sleeve lengths. We've slightly adjusted the outer-layer material to include 6% nylon for the purpose of adding extra strength to the wool yarn, following feedback from our ranching team the outer layer would occasionally develop holes after rigorous use. The fabric also features a 315 GSM construction vs 275 GSM in year's past, for optimal warmth and weight in the colds of the American backcountry.
Cold gentle machine wash with like colors. Do not bleach. Dry flat or line dry only; do not tumble dry.

Reviews
Very, very nice. Highly recommended.
"Everything I've purchased from Duckworth is well worth the money. You get what you pay for and this is a great example. Flawless finish, comfortable and looks great. Supporting domestic manufacturers is important to me and provides more confidence that I am getting real Marino wool. Highly recommended!"

Time will tell
"I haven't had cold weather to test out the hood, i'm sure it will work out great."
Great Balaclava
"Fits well even for a smaller woman due to stretch. Warm and quality product!"
"So warm. Has become an instant favorite as it is winter in the northeast where I am and it has been very windy and cold. I love that I have this balaclava! I didn’t think I’d care much for the auburn color but the other colors were sold out, and to my surprise I very much like it!"
Very Warm without being bulky or with moisture buildup around the mouth area.
"Very Warm, not bulky like others, and very functional. Can even wear it like a turtle neck. I bought it because I wear glasses and ready it keeps moisture down while breathing around your mouth area which in turn cause my glasses to fog up. It works like a champ, and very happy with it. I may get a couple more to keep in my travel bags so I always have one without thinking to pack it. You’ll be happy with this purchase if you have a need for one."
Superior moisture wicking compared to
"Superior moisture wicking compared to my previous buff. Comfortable fabric. Able to adjust for full or partial lower face coverage."
Balaclava Success
"Very happy with my recently purchased balaclava. Used it under my helmet for skiing in Colorado last week in sub-zero temps. It helped keep my face, neck, and head warm. I particularly liked that it held its shape and wasn't saggy."

"The wool shirt that I bought, exceeded my expectations, I got it for my father and the quality and warmth are awesome . I’m willing to buy more pieces ! Thank you"
