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
The Balaclava Kids Milk Fleece offers superior warmth and comfort for younger winter explorers. Crafted from Milk Fleece, this balaclava features a double-brushed texture for a cozy feel. Its hinged design ensures flexibility, while the hydrophobic properties keep moisture out, making it a great choice for active kids.
It's a kids balaclava for skiing and snowboarding, with the Airhole at the mouth. Their breath goes out through the hole instead of up into their goggles, so the lenses stay clearer and the mask doesn't turn clammy.
The face panel is shaped to sit flat under a helmet without bunching, and it folds down when they need to eat or drink. Milk Fleece is double brushed, so it's soft against the skin. On our warmth scale Milk Fleece is a Cold days fabric, for roughly −5 to −15°C.
Fabric: 95% polyester, 5% spandex. One size, made for younger riders.
