Airhole Size Guide
Adult & Junior Balaclavas and Thermal Layers
Find your fit before heading into the cold. Use your measurements as a starting point, and check the product listing for available sizes and any style-specific fit information.
Adult Balaclavas
Measure around the fullest part of your head using a flexible measuring tape. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
| Size | Head circumference |
|---|---|
| S/M | 50–55 cm / 19.7–21.7 in |
| M/L | 55–60 cm / 21.7–23.6 in |
| Adult O/S — selected laser-opening styles | 50–60 cm / 19.7–23.6 in |
Not every balaclava is offered in every size. The adult O/S measurement should not be used for junior styles.
A balaclava should sit comfortably against your face without excessive pressure or bunching. Check the fit with your goggles and helmet.

Junior Balaclavas
Airhole Junior Milk Fleece and Microfleece balaclavas are offered in Junior One Size (O/S).
Junior One Size is a separate fit from adult sizing. Airhole does not clearly specify a junior-only head circumference range, so we recommend checking the fit rather than choosing by age alone.
The balaclava should fit comfortably around the head and face, with the breathing opening positioned correctly. Try it with the child’s helmet and goggles to check for pressure or bunching.

Description
Elevate your cold-weather protection with the Airhood Laser Polar Fleece. This piece combines the full coverage of a relaxed-fit hood with the dependable warmth of our Polar Fleece and the enhanced breathability of Laser micro-airholes. The result? Ultimate comfort and protection that fits easily over your helmet, providing flexibility and warmth for all your winter adventures.
The Airhood is our hooded balaclava for snowboarding and skiing. The relaxed-fit hood goes on over your helmet, so your head, ears and neck are covered in one piece.
Laser-cut micro-airholes across the face panel let your breath out instead of up into your goggles, so your lenses stay clearer from the first chair to the last run.
Our Polar Fleece holds in heat on cold chair rides and wicks moisture so it dries fast. On our warmth scale Polar Fleece is a Cold days fabric, for roughly −5 to −15°C.
Fabric: 92% polyester, 8% spandex. One size, fits heads 50–60 cm.
