The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "polar fox") is now a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of the brand's long development is also this balaclava, or if you prefer, helmet/mask, which belongs to the Keb range of accessories.
Fjällräven products are known for being minimalist, much like the entire Scandinavian design. And just as minimalist is this single-color balaclava or mask with the manufacturer's logo on the front. The classic fleece balaclava is made from a blend of polyester, wool and elastane, and with features such as good moisture-wicking and quick-drying, it makes for an ideal clothing accessory for outdoor activities.
You will appreciate the Fjällräven Keb balaclava in truly cold weather conditions. The soft and functional clothing accessory is comfortable to wear and has practical features, such as perforation in the mouth area. This prevents the condensation of moisture from the wearer's breath and simply improves ventilation.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm health through chemical treatments. This is not a threat with the Fjällräven Kebbalaclava, as it does not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances, widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
Fjällräven products are truly sustainable regardless of the model. For instance, the polyester used in this hood is recycled, and the wool, which is another part of the material blend, is traceable and certified. The manufacturer talks about "sustainability through longevity", which should be a standard for quality products regardless of the specific product.
