The FLEX is our most popular model. If you are looking for a faceGlove that is extremely versatile, easy to pack, and will perform well in any condition, this is the one we recommend.
If your adventures take you into colder climates and you plan to wear glasses then we recommend recommend the faceGlove. This is the model worn by arctic expeditions and winter fat tire racers.
If you are in colder climates and plan to wear your faceGlove with goggles then we highly recommend the faceGlove GO. This is the model often worn by resort skiers.
The faceGlove is our DIY heat moldable option. It is very easy to mold at home using a cup and microwave. We recommend watching our instructional video before molding yourself.
There are two key difference between the faceGlove and the faceGlove GO. The first is that the faceGlove has higher nose that allows for it fabric to sit between your glasses for extra comfort. The faceGlove GO has a lower nose designed to work best with goggles.
The other major difference is that the GO comes pre-molded out of the box.
The FLEX comes with ear-loops out of the box. The faceGlove GO comes with a single head-strap, think croakies. The reason this works is the GO is designed to be worn with goggles which between the moldable plastic and the goggles they are held firmly in place. The faceGlove DIY comes with both head-straps and ear-loops.
We cut off the top of the bala as we believe this is a superior design for two reasons.
- Having the top removed allows for better heat regulation. If you are too warm you can take off your hat to cool off a bit. We are big believers in layers.
- By removing the top you can now pull it down around your neck to act as a buff, something a normal balaclava cannot do.
The bala is made of a blend of 89% polyester and 11% elastic. The fabric is extremely soft and stretchy, creating a wonderfully comfortable fit.
