When it gets seriously cold and windy, this VAUDE Stormcap is a game-changer. It's a balaclava, so it covers your head, neck, and most of your face. The back is made from soft, warm fleece, which feels cozy against your skin. The front part, over your face and neck, is made from a windproof softshell material – that's the key part that blocks the biting wind. They've even thought about the breathing part; there are little perforated holes around the nose and mouth area so your glasses don't fog up as much and you can breathe easier. It's a unisex adult size, and this one is a Small in black. VAUDE also makes this with a focus on being eco-friendly, using sustainable materials and fair production, which is a nice bonus. This is the kind of gear you'll be thankful for on those brutal winter days – whether you're skiing, snowboarding, shoveling snow, or just commuting in freezing temperatures. It offers really solid protection without being overly bulky.
