The Balaclava Polar Fleece combines full-face coverage with enhanced flexibility, perfect for those who need adaptability in changing weather.

The unique hinged ergonomic design allows you to adjust the fit for maximum comfort and versatility, while the trusted Polar Fleece fabric delivers exceptional warmth and moisture resistance.

This is the original Airhole snowboard face mask: a full hinge balaclava for snowboarding and skiing, with one small oval hole at the mouth, held open by a moulded silicone ring. The hole does the anti-fog work: your breath goes out through it instead of up into your goggles, so your lenses stay clearer.

The face panel is shaped to sit flat under a helmet without bunching, and it folds down when you need to eat, drink or breathe. Polar Fleece is our most popular fabric. It breathes, wicks moisture and dries fast. On our warmth scale Polar Fleece is a Cold days fabric, for roughly −5 to −15°C.

Fabric: 92% polyester, 8% spandex. Sizes: S/M fits heads 50–55 cm, M/L fits 55–60 cm. Canadian pro snowboarders started Airhole in 2006, and every mask is still built around the hole.

How an Airhole is built →

Breathe Free

The Airhole allows breathe to escape freely through either our original Airhole or our micro laser Airholes.

Prevent Goggle Fog

As warm air from breathe can escape freely through the Airholes, the warm air doesn't rise into your goggles creating fog.

Prevent Goggle Fog

Warm breath exits through the silicone Airhole instead of rising into your goggles, so your lenses stay clear from the first run to the last.

Origin

Built by riders

Fed up with wet, frozen masks in the backcountry, Canadian pro snowboarders Chris Brown and Kale Stephens took to Kale's grandma's old sewing machine and cut up worn-out jackets until the fit was right. The result was the patented Airhole Breath Hole. Today it's worn by our global team, from Terje Haakonsen and Roope Rautiainen to Yuto Miyamura.

★★★★★Cale Jackson, verified buyer

This is hands down the best facemask money can buy. The only one that won’t freeze up, fog the goggles or cause laboured breathing.

Review for Airhole Original Mouth | Polar Fleece Balaclava

★★★★★Josh A.

I use my Polar balaclava in colder, windy, and generally harsher weather and it keeps me warm and protected while letting me breathe properly.

Frequently asked questions

How cold can I ride it?

It depends on the fabric. Warmest to lightest:

  • Coldest days, -10 to -25°C (14 to -13°F): Polartec® Shearling Fleece, 10K Softshell
  • Cold days, -5 to -15°C (23 to 5°F): Polar Fleece, Milk Fleece, Polartec® Power Dry
  • Everyday, 0 to -10°C (32 to 14°F): Microfleece, Drytech, Waffle Fleece, Polartec® 100, Merino
  • Warmer days and hiking, +5 to -5°C (41 to 23°F): Drylite, Hyper Hole

Riding at -20°C and below, or in big wind? Go Shearling or Softshell.

Does it fit under a helmet?

Yes. The hinged balaclavas have a shaped face panel that sits flat under a helmet without bunching, and folds down when you need to eat, drink or breathe. Airtubes pull up over your face and stay put under a helmet and goggles. Riding an Airhood with a helmet? Pick the Helmet Fit version.

Will my goggles fog?

That's what the Airhole is for. Warm breath goes out through the mouth opening instead of up into your goggles, so your lenses stay clearer and the mask doesn't turn clammy. The Laser styles do the same job through laser-cut micro-airholes.

Is shipping free?

Free shipping on orders over $70 in North America. US prices include all duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay at the door.

Can I return it?

Full-priced items can be returned within 14 business days, unused and in the original packaging with your receipt. Sale items are final sale. Email info@endeavordesigninc.com to start a return.

What size is it?

Two sizes, S/M and M/L. Check the balaclava size guide to find yours.
