U.S. G.I. Polartec Frost Fighter Balaklava

When warmth matters most, it’s the smallest exposed areas that can cost you the most. This full-coverage balaclava is built from the same 200-weight virgin filament polyester fleece as a field jacket—soft-brushed on the inside, smooth-knit on the exterior, and engineered to trap warmth without trapping moisture. Its contoured design fits close to the head without binding, offering coverage from neckline to nose with flexibility for multiple wear styles. Wear it under a helmet, hood, or alone when the wind gets mean. Lightweight, breathable, and built for hard weather. One size fits most. New condition. Color: Black or Coyote. Made in the USA.

Surplus Note: This item was sourced directly from a USA government contractor’s overrun. That means this gear is first quality, factory fresh, plus made specifically to modern military specifications.

Expert Tips:
Machine wash cold and air dry to prevent pilling. For best results, wear snug against bare skin for insulation and moisture wicking. Works well under knit caps or hoods for added wind protection. Packs small in a glove box, tool bag, or chest pocket so you’re never caught off guard by the cold.
