The HH LIFA Merino Pro Balaclava is a part of the Helly Hansen Lifa Merino collection—engineered for professionals who need premium warmth, comfort, and breathability in extreme conditions. Designed for performance and protection, this balaclava is the perfect cold-weather base layer, soft yet durable next to skin.
Sustainable Performance with LIFA® Merino Technology
At its core is LIFA® MERINO technology, combining moisture-wicking LIFA® fibers with the warmth of merino wool. LIFA fibers pull sweat away from skin, while ZQ-certified merino wool provides insulation, odor resistance, and temperature control.
Sustainability meets performance with ZQ Wool, a responsibly sourced merino wool known for high standards in animal welfare, environmental care, and fiber quality. This ensures that the balaclava not only performs under pressure but also aligns with eco-conscious values.
Comfort and Breathability for Active Use
To enhance breathability in active conditions, the balaclava features mesh ventilation strategically placed in high-heat zones. This lets excess heat and moisture escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during intense work or changing weather. Whether lifting, climbing, or moving, this ventilation system effectively regulates your body temperature.
Built for extended wear, the flatlock seams minimize chafing and irritation, offering a smooth feel against the skin. The ergonomic fit ensures full coverage around the head, neck, and face, providing maximum protection from wind, cold, and snow without restricting movement or visibility.
Low-Profile Thermal Protection for Cold-Weather Work
With a low-profile design, the HH LIFA Merino Pro Balaclava fits easily under helmets, hard hats, or hoods, making it an essential part of any winter workwear setup. It’s ideal for construction, utility work, mountain operations, and other cold-weather jobs where focus and warmth are key.
The HH LIFA Merino Pro Balaclava delivers high-performance thermal protection, breathable comfort, and professional-grade quality—exactly what you expect from the Helly Hansen Lifa Merino range. Lightweight, durable, and environmentally responsible, this balaclava helps you stay warm, dry, and focused no matter how tough the conditions.
