CEP | Core Run Balaclava | Unisex
Product Overview
```The CEP Core Run Balaclava adds full head, face and neck coverage for running when cold temperatures and wind call for more protection than a standard beanie. Soft brushed fabric provides lightweight insulation, while wind-resistant materials help take the edge off exposed winter conditions.
Strategic mesh zones and airflow channels improve ventilation around high-heat areas, helping balance warmth with the breathability needed for running. A raised collar, ergonomic shaping and reflective details round out a winter layer built specifically for active use.

Why It Works
```Brushed thermal fabric: The soft interior helps trap warmth around the head, face and neck without relying on the bulk of a heavy winter face covering.
Targeted ventilation: Lightweight mesh zones and integrated airflow channels give excess heat and moisture somewhere to escape—especially useful once your effort level rises.
Moisture management: Technical fibers pull sweat away from the skin and encourage faster evaporation, helping reduce the damp, clammy feel that can develop under heavily insulated winter gear.
Wind-resistant coverage: Protective fabric helps reduce exposure to cold gusts while maintaining the breathability needed for sustained aerobic activity.
```Fit & Feel
```The Core Run Balaclava uses an ergonomic shape with a relaxed, easy-to-layer fit. It is designed to follow the head comfortably while providing enough room through the lower face and neck to avoid the restrictive feel of a tight compression hood.
A raised collar extends coverage below the jaw and around the neck, while stretch in both the main and mesh fabrics lets the balaclava move naturally as you turn your head or adjust coverage during a run.

Good to Know
```Choose the Core Run Balaclava when you need more protection than a beanie or thermal headband can provide. The extended face and neck coverage is particularly useful during windy runs, exposed winter routes and colder conditions.
Despite the added coverage, this is performance headwear rather than a heavy expedition-style face mask. Mesh ventilation and moisture-wicking fabrics are included specifically to help manage heat during exercise.
The material is wind-resistant, not waterproof. It is designed primarily for cold air and wind rather than prolonged exposure to rain or wet snow.
Reflective details improve visibility when illuminated but should supplement rather than replace active lighting when running in darkness.
```Care: Gentle machine wash cold, maximum 30°C / 86°F. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not dry clean.
