Nicely made, attractive with its red piping around the face opening and bottom, and comfortable to wear. The zipper is a terrific feature and works very nicely indeed.Note, however, that the material (a pleasant blend of polypropylene and stretch nylon) is thinner than the 100% polypropylene used in the widely available military balaclavas, and proportionally less warm.It is also a lot more slippery - so much so that my hat pulled down over it was brushed and blown off much more easily.
