Ideal Applications
Use as an additional warmth layer for outdoor maintenance, construction duties or other cold workplaces where a fleece balaclava is suitable. Check its fit with the task’s helmet, eyewear and other equipment before starting work.
Use and Care
Follow the sewn-in washing instructions. Let the balaclava dry thoroughly before storage and keep it away from sources of heat that could damage polyester. Inspect for torn fabric, stretched areas or seams that affect fit. If worn under a hard hat, check that the suspension and retention system remain correctly positioned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can CS20 be worn under a hard hat?
Portwest describes the design as suitable for under-hard-hat wear. Confirm that your helmet’s instructions allow it, then check the helmet fit with the balaclava in place.
Is it waterproof?
The published specification describes fleece and wind resistance, rather than waterproof protection. Choose suitable weatherproof clothing separately for wet conditions.
Which size and colours are available here?
This listing offers one size in black and navy. Select the required colour before ordering.
Does a fleece balaclava replace specialist face or respiratory protection?
No. Use the protective equipment specified for the task. CS20 is a cold-weather clothing accessory and should be checked for compatibility with that equipment.
