USGI Foliage
Green Balaclava Hood - Used
The USGI
Cold Weather Balaclava Hood is a high-performance tactical headliner issued
to U.S. Military personnel for operations in cold, unforgiving environments.
Striking the perfect balance between heat retention and modern material
engineering, this balaclava is knitted from a premium, high-density blend of 85%
Wool and 15% Nylon. This specific composition utilizes the natural hollow
fibers of wool to trap core body heat (even when damp from sweat or melting
snow) while leveraging the integrated nylon weave for critical tensile
strength, stretch recovery, and abrasion resistance.
Issued widely
during the ACU/UCP and Foliage Green gear era, this single-aperture hood can be
pulled over the nose and mouth for full mask concealment, tucked under the chin
as a standard neck gaiter, or rolled completely up into a low-profile watch
cap.
In Used
surplus condition, these hoods are thoroughly inspected to ensure they are 100%
field-ready. While they may display standard signs of deployment—such as minor
fabric pilling, slight fading of the foliage tone, or original soldier markings
on the interior tag—the knit retains excellent elasticity with no structural
holes or compromises.
