Why Choose the Norvan Balaclava?

The Arc'teryx Norvan Balaclava is a unique piece for cold-weather mountain runners. It is made from a merino wool blend, with fibers wrapped around a nylon core. The unique part is that the top of the balacalava is wide open. The open top is designed for ventilation, and the hinged construction ensures a secure and clean fit. This piece is intended to be fully adjustable, allowing me to wear it as a neck warmer, toque, or full-coverage balaclava. I purchased this balaclava solely to add to my collection, but I don't see a use case for it at the moment.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Norvan Balaclava

This interesting Arc'teryx Balaclava sits on the shelf and receives no use. The massive logo is not my style, which does not help.

• Running: I plan to use a full balaclava for warmth and protection the next time I run in conditions that require it.
