Spiritus Systems Mid-Weight Balaclava

The Spiritus Systems Mid-Weight Balaclava is a purpose-built flame-resistant balaclava engineered for operators who demand thermal regulation, moisture management, and situational awareness in a single garment. Made in the USA and fully Berry Amendment compliant, this FR balaclava is USAF Safe to Fly Certified and designed to integrate seamlessly with helmets, NVGs, and headborne communications systems. Please note: This is a non-returnable product. Unlike treated FR balaclavas that lose their protective properties over time, the Spiritus Systems Mid-Weight Balaclava uses inherently flame-resistant fibers — the FR protection is built into the yarn itself and will never wash out or wear away, regardless of how many times you launder it.
