The Hood Built To Actually Seal
Full face and neck coverage that doesn't gap open, fog your goggles, or bunch at the drawstring, no matter how many times you turn your head on the lift.

- Neck tube seals on its own drawcord, separate from the hood
- Designed to sit right at your goggle edge, so it never blocks your peripheral vision
- 90-day guarantee, so there's no risk in finding out
Backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee
Why the Hood You Already Own Still Lets the Cold In
Most fleece hoods and balaclavas look the same on a hanger. The difference shows up the first time you turn your head.
Two Separate Seals, Not One
Most hoods run one drawstring through the hood and the neck section at the same time. Cinch it for your neck and the hood loosens. Cinch it for your hood and the neck gaps. The neck tube on this hood has its own cord, so each piece seals on its own terms.
Built to Sit Right at Your Goggles
Pull it too high and it fogs your lenses. Too low and cold air gets in. This hood is shaped to land at the exact edge of your goggles, so your breath stays out and your side vision stays clear when you turn to check the run behind you.
Cord Locks That Actually Hold
Cinch it once at the bottom of the lift and it stays cinched. No retying at the top, no readjusting mid-run.

You've Already Tried To Fix This
Maybe it was a balaclava that felt too thin the moment the wind picked up. Maybe it was a beanie that did nothing once your jacket hood came off. Either way, you already own something that was supposed to handle this, and it didn't.
"Once the goggles were on, I could not see or breathe. I ended up pulling it all the way down to expose my face."
A real complaint about a single-string hood and goggle fit
"It doesn't just tighten the mask, it also tightens the hood with the same string. It makes it very uneven and bunched up."
A real complaint about a one-drawstring design
Two Pieces, Each With Its Own Seal
It comes down to the drawcords. One string trying to do two jobs is what gaps. Two separate cords, each doing one job, is what seals.
Cinch the hood down on its own cord lock
The hood sits snug around your head and stays there, no shifting once you're moving.
Pull the neck tube up on its own separate drawcord
The neck tube isn't attached to the hood's string. Pulling it doesn't loosen anything else.
Each piece holds its own seal
Turn your head to check the lift line, lean into the wind, whatever the run calls for. Neither cord has to fight the other.
Is It Actually Warm Enough?
Answering the question we get asked the most: how warm, really?
I get cold faster than everyone in my ski group and this is the first hood that actually kept up with me. No gaps, no retying anything on the lift.
Placeholder review
The neck tube not being tied to the hood sounds small until you actually wear it. Nothing pulled crooked once, even on a windy day.
Placeholder review
Wears it under my helmet with zero fogging on my goggles. Finally something that lines up right instead of sitting too high or too low.

Choose Your Color, Keep The Seal
Every colorway is built the same way underneath: the same two-cord seal, the same goggle-aligned fit. Pick the one that matches your kit, not the one that happens to be in stock.
Works With The Helmet And Goggles You Already Own
Hood on, neck tube up, helmet on, goggles down. It's built to sit at the edge of your goggles instead of fighting them, so you keep your side vision on every turn.
One Hood Handles Every Layer Level
Wear the neck tube on its own on a milder day, or pull the hood up and cinch both pieces down when the wind picks up. One hood, not a drawer full of half-solutions.
Brings Your Whole Crew Along
The fit works for your ski partner too, so it's an easy add when someone in your group is always the one complaining about the cold.
The Run You Almost Sat Out
Your face gives out by the second run. You're back on the lodge bench early, watching everyone else finish out the day.
The cold stops being the thing that decides when your day ends. You're still out there for the last run, still warm at the chin and neck.

Before You Ask
I've already bought a hood or balaclava before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?
Most of what's out there uses one drawstring to cinch both the hood and the neck section at the same time, which is exactly why it gaps and lets cold through when you move. This hood gives the neck tube its own separate drawcord, so cinching one never loosens the other.
Will it fog my goggles or glasses?
It's designed to align with the edge of your goggles rather than overlap them, so your breath stays below the lens and your peripheral vision stays clear when you turn to look behind you.
Will the drawstring bunch everything up unevenly?
No. The hood and the neck tube each cinch on their own cord lock, so tightening one never pulls the other crooked.
Is this actually warm enough, or is it just for mild cold?
It's a dense fleece built for the days you'd otherwise bundle up in extra layers just to get through. It's not a substitute for medical advice about a cold-sensitivity condition, but for a genuinely cold day on the mountain, it's built to be the warmest layer you put on your face and neck.
I already have a hood built into my jacket. Why do I need this?
Most jacket hoods are thin and only cover the top of your head. This hood fully encircles your head and face with real fleece and a separate neck seal, which is a meaningfully different job than a jacket's built-in hood was ever designed to do.
Will it hold up over a full ski season?
It's built with real cord locks instead of the single loose string that tends to wear out first on cheaper hoods. If it ever doesn't hold up for you, you're covered by the 90-day guarantee below.
Is $14.99 actually worth it?
You're getting a hood built around one specific fix (the two-cord seal), not a generic bundle of features. If it doesn't work for your setup, the 90-day guarantee means you're not stuck with it.
Will I overheat or feel like I can't breathe in it?
It's a snug fleece built to block wind, so it runs warmer than a thin liner by design. Most people wear the neck tube down around the chin when they want a bit more airflow and pull it up when the wind picks up.
What's your shipping and return policy?
