Needing glasses to ride limits me to mostly open face balaclavas. The biggest problem I have with balaclavas in general is finding one that sits properly against the forehead. Many of them tend to float or pull back leaving the forehead unprotected.

My current favorite when its not too cold or windy is this Dakota brand one from the Canadian chain Marks. A lot of stretch so I can easily pull it below my chin. And it has a nice puffy waffle pattern inside that seems to be known as grid fleece. The Under Armour Base x.0 thermal tops / bottoms have the same kind of pattern. Not quite as wind resistant as some of my other balaclavas and my ears can start getting cold when its windy.

When its colder I use the face mask part from an Outdoor Research Gorilla Balaclava with a polyester balaclava that I sewed velcro onto.
