Alder Balaclava

Alder Balaclava – Lightweight 3D Facial Concealment

The Alder Balaclava is designed for hunters and outdoor users who need to conceal the face and neck without restricting vision, breathing, or comfort. Built on a lightweight, breathable mesh base with integrated 3D leaf elements, it breaks up one of the most easily recognized human features at close range — exposed skin and facial outlines.

Its low-profile design allows natural movement and airflow while maintaining effective concealment in woodland, brush, and mixed terrain.

Built for Close-Range Facial Concealment

Exposed skin and facial movement are often the first details detected by game animals at close distances. The Alder Balaclava adds natural visual breakup around the face, jawline, and neck, helping reduce detection while calling, glassing, or remaining still in seated or prone positions.

The breathable construction makes it comfortable for extended wear in warm or active conditions.
