5.11 Pasamontañas Táctico 89430

If you usually wear a small or medium hat, or prefer a snug fit, go with the Small/Medium. If you wear large or XL hats, have a thicker neck, or want a bit more breathing room, choose the Large/XL. The fabric stretches, but a close fit will keep the balaclava from shifting under your helmet or eye protection.

Yes. The balaclava has a smooth, low-profile crown and flat seams that sit well under most patrol and bump helmets. The fabric is thin enough to avoid hot spots under pads while still adding warmth. For best results, put on the balaclava, adjust the hinge for the coverage you want, then fit your helmet so straps and pads sit correctly over it.

The cotton and Cordura jersey blend offers no melt, no drip performance, which helps reduce the risk of the material melting to your skin in high heat. However, it is not marketed as a fully certified flame-resistant hood. It should not replace agency-approved FR head protection when policies or mission profiles require certified PPE.

You can run this balaclava in a range of conditions. It shines in cool and cold environments, but the moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabric lets you use it in transitional weather as well. Many users wear it as a neck gaiter or open-face hood in mild temperatures to block wind and dust without trapping too much heat. In very hot climates, lighter gear may be more comfortable for long wear.

Wash the balaclava in cold or warm water with similar colors and a mild detergent, then line dry or tumble dry on low heat (care method assumed based on typical 5.11 garments). Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and very high dryer heat, which can weaken fibers, damage stitching, and reduce the no melt, no drip performance over time.
