Helikon-Tex Balaclava One Hole — Coyote

The Helikon-Tex Balaclava One Hole is a single-opening lycra balaclava weighing 50 g, designed for those who need lightweight face coverage during outdoor activities, hunting, or tactical use without the bulk of a stiff fabric or raised seams.

The seamless flat-stitch construction eliminates pressure points under a helmet or hat, making it compatible with any head protection without causing discomfort over hours of wear. The cut follows the shape of the head and lets you choose whether to cover or expose the nose and mouth simply by rotating the fabric — useful when temperatures shift during the day and you do not want to remove the balaclava entirely.

The Lycra fibre conforms to the contours of the face without leaving gaps along the jaw and forehead, providing an effective barrier against wind and light cold. That said, this is a breathable, non-insulating garment: it blocks airflow and reduces heat loss, but in severe winter conditions it should be layered with a heavier thermal base under the helmet or hat.

Key features

• Weight of 50 g: packs into a pocket without being noticed and pulls on in seconds.
• Flat seamless construction: no friction points under a helmet or hard hat, even after extended use.
• Adjustable single opening: the cut allows the nose and mouth to be uncovered without removing the balaclava.
• Adaptive Lycra: conforms to the shape of the face without lateral gaps, improving wind protection.
• Active breathability: the fabric wicks moisture during exertion, preventing condensation from building up on the face.
