A thick fleece balaclava is great during the occasional sub-zero, high-wind whiteout, but most of the time it's simply too much, leaving you sweaty and uncomfortable. For the majority of the season, the Burton Expedition/Lightweight Neck Warmer provides the perfect balance of protection and warmth without resulting in steamed up goggles. A blend of DRYRIDE Ultrawick™ Expedition 300 and 100 Lightweight fabrics takes the sting out of harsh weather while maintaining a high level of breathability. What's more is that when the sun decides to peak through for the second half of the day, the Expedition/Lightweight Neck Warmer prevents sunburns thanks to a UPF 40+ rating.
