Which balaclava do you use and why?

I couldn't find a listed weight for the Marmot Lightweight Balaclava. Anyone have an approximate figure?

i have the R1 balaclava and really like it. it's light as any other on the market, polartec for maximum warmth and flexibility, and can be worn as a hat, neck gaiter, hood, or full mask.

Before reading your post I scoured the net and couldn't find it! :(

I'm guessing they're not available right now because its summer?
Any idea where I could find one?

I use the mountain hardwear power stretch balaclava. I plan on using it on a Mt. Shasta hike in a week and a half. Don't know the low I've taken it down to, but it has worked great. Weighs 2 ounces on my scale.

Is the Power Stretch a newer version of MHW's "Butter" Balaclava?

I also use the MH Powerstretch balaclava. It's under 2 ounces on my scale, the stretch makes it fit well, and it's fuzzy and warm on the inside.

It also makes a nice pillowcase stretched over my clothing stuff sack.

This is it here.I’m thinking it replaced the butter balaclava. Those reviews are a few years old.

+1 to all of that.

+1 on the MH Powerstretch Balaclava. It weighs 1.5oz on my scale. I bought a MH Butter recently for my son thinking I was buying the Powerstretch. The butter is thinner and not as fuzzy and warm as the Powerstretch. Unfortunately, I didn't weight the Butter before returning it. I wear it as a balaclava while sleeping and fold it up to a hat in the morning.

+1 Great piece of gear.
