Turtle Fur's Best Gear for Skiing & Snowboarding
The start of a new year brings endless opportunities for fresh adventures, and for many, it’s the perfect time to hit the slopes. Skiing and snowboarding are exhilarating ways to embrace winter, but the cold can quickly become a challenge without the right gear. At Turtle Fur, we specialize in keeping skiers and snowboarders warm, comfortable, and stylish, ensuring you can enjoy every moment of your time on the mountain. From balaclavas to neck gaiters, our gear is designed for performance and protection—perfect for kicking off the year on the slopes.
Essential Winter Face Protection for the Slopes
Balaclavas: Full-Face Coverage
When it comes to winter sports, balaclavas are essential for full-face protection against wind, snow, and freezing temperatures. They offer coverage for your head, neck, and face, making them an indispensable accessory for both alpine and Nordic skiing. Turtle Fur’s balaclavas are crafted for performance, with breathable fabrics that wick moisture away while keeping you warm.
Our balaclavas are designed to fit comfortably under helmets, ensuring a secure fit without bulk. Whether you’re cruising down groomed trails or tackling powder-filled backcountry runs, a balaclava will keep you protected and focused on your adventure. Here are some of our balaclavas designed to keep you warm and comfortable on the slopes:
-
Shellaclava: This balaclava merges the lightweight breathability of a technical hood with the comfort and protection of a double-layer neck warmer. Easily worn under a helmet or a hat, this balaclava allows you to shred on the slopes without worrying about wind or snow.
-
MaxClava: The MaxClava offers superior warmth with a multi-functional design that covers your head, neck, and face. Its four-way stretch fabric ensures a snug and comfortable fit, making it ideal for both alpine and Nordic skiing.
Popular Picks: Ski Mask Balaclavas and Overhoods
The full coverage of our Quattroclava with a storm flap is unmatched. This balaclava features moisture-wicking technology, four-way stretch, and seamless helmet compatibility along with complete face coverage, making it perfect for high-energy winter sports in less than perfect conditions.
For snowy conditions, the Booter Overhood is a game-changer.

It’s a must-have for tackling harsh weather on the mountain.

Layering with Turtle Fur Neckwear for Maximum Warmth
Neck Gaiters and Neck Warmers
Layering is key to staying warm on the slopes, and Turtle Fur’s neck gaiters and neck warmers are essential additions to your winter wardrobe. The Tube Neck Gaiter offers versatile coverage for your neck and lower face, while the fleece-lined Double Layer Neck Warmer provides extra insulation for frigid days.
These pieces are perfect for pairing with a balaclava or wearing on their own, offering flexibility and comfort no matter the conditions.
Key Features for All-Day Comfort
Turtle Fur’s neckwear is designed with skiers and snowboarders in mind. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics keep you comfortable, even during intense runs. Flexible designs ensure a snug fit that won’t shift or bunch, allowing you to focus on enjoying the slopes.
Versatile Accessories: Helmet Liners and Fleece Headbands
Helmet Liners for Extra Warmth and Protection
For added warmth under your helmet, Turtle Fur’s under helmet liners are the perfect solution. Lightweight and breathable, these liners provide insulation without sacrificing comfort. They wick away moisture, keeping you dry and warm during long days on the mountain.
Fleece Headbands for Lightweight Warmth
If you’re a Nordic skier or someone who prefers lighter coverage, fleece headbands are an excellent choice. Turtle Fur’s Bang Band is a standout option, offering lightweight warmth while allowing heat to escape during high-energy activities. It’s a practical and stylish way to keep your ears warm without the need for a full hat.
