Here is a "system" buy two balaclavas one thin, one normal thickness.
The thin one for summer usage, the thick one for winter. For mountaineering
in the western states.
Bring both of them in winter and you have a good way to make
escimo slits for the eyes, put both of them on and adjust a overlap
so you have eye slits. Works great for high winds, in my opinon
much better than a ski mask as it won't freeze up. I have done
this with success on Mount Washington in NH so I have real life
experience in bad conditions in winter, climbed it solo in January ,
only person on the mountain that I could see of.

If you get one of these it will be one of the best buys
you have ever done.
