Product Insights
Unikko Tone-On-Tone Wool-Blend Balaclava 65% wool, 33% polyamide and 2% elastane in a soft brushed wool blend. Wool-dominant brushed knit provides warmth without bulk and can still insulate when damp. Sold in one size only, with no published head-circumference range; 2% elastane is included for stretch and recovery. Hand wash in tepid water with a mild wool detergent; do not soak or wring. Main tradeoffs are one-size fit, hand-wash care, possible light pilling and open-face rather than full-mask coverage.
