How to Measure
Head Circumference: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest part of the head, across the forehead and above the ears. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug.
Crown to Base of Ear: Measure from the highest point at the crown of the head straight down to the base of the ear.
Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust, keeping the tape level beneath the arms and across the shoulder blades.
Natural Waist: Bend slightly to one side to locate the natural crease, then measure around that point without pulling the tape tight.
Hips: Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
Height: Stand barefoot with the back against a wall and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
Sizing can vary by product construction and intended fit. Review the individual product page for under-helmet, over-helmet, compression, slim, regular or relaxed fit notes.

Description
Millions of athletes have trusted our original Hood Balaclava to keep their faces warm through blizzards, bluebird laps, and everything in between. Now, the Merino Hood ExoHinge™ takes that legacy to the next level. Made with premium Nuyarn® merino wool, it delivers the same trusted coverage and mobility with upgraded softness, odor resistance, and superior thermal regulation, ushering in the next evolution of face warmth perfection.
Developed in New Zealand, Nuyarn® technology redefines what merino can do. By removing the traditional twist from the yarn, it creates a fabric with better stretch and recovery, improved moisture management, and more consistent warmth. The result is merino that’s stronger, longer-lasting, and more comfortable, while still delivering the natural odor resistance and soft feel merino is known for.
