This Balaclava was the only one at REI that I tried on that seemed to fit correctly in the "face mask" configuration, i.e with only the eyes exposed. I found this to be a snug fit with the most coverage. This is a very warm piece of equipment, and I just weighed it at 1.3 oz. I would highly reccomend this piece of equipment. Overall it performs really well, but what I think really gets me, for any gear I suppose is the price. This only cost me 16$
