The multifunctionality and light material make this a very versatile piece of kit. When you have a beanie, neck tube, balaclava (and everything in between) in a single package the L1 Balaclava is a no-brainer to pack along no matter when or where you´re heading. Naturally, this is at its strongest in the chilly and cold seasons, but even cool summer nights sometimes require some chill protection, especially when sleeping under the stars.

Merino wool is a fantastic choice for next-to-skin wear. Most notably it feels good against the skin and retains most of it´s insulating properties even when soaking wet.
