In my opinion, no. The Klim arctic is best.

 

I have a 509 carbon fiber mx style helmet and goggles as well and I use the Ski Doo mountain balaclava. It's comfortable, warm and diverts all your breath downward. It also tucks into your collar quite a ways so no worry of any air or snow drifting down your back.

I haven't use the Klim, but I have 0 complaints about the Doo one.

Edit:

Fwiw... I just looked up the Klim Arctic and from the pictures I like the design better than the Doo one. I might actually upgrade mine to those. Still no issues with Doo and 20 bucks cheaper, but the Klim does seem superior.

I have the klim arctic and the Doo mountain baclava and between the two have way more issues with the sealing my goggles on the Klim. It also seems to pull out from under my jacket all the time too. It is a little bit warmer when I can get it set right but for the price like most Klim stuff its just to expensive, I'd also like to hear what others are wearing, I to trail ride and warmth is a priority.

 

Klim arctic for cold days
Klim glacier for average days.

 

I own both the Klim Arctic, and the Doo mountain. I normally gravitate towards the ski doo gear for there quality, however, on this one the Klim is hands down the winner....

I used to use the Ski Doo Mountain - until I tried a Klim Arctic. I now own 2 or 3 Klims, I'm not sure where my Doo Mountains are.

 

The only balaclava better or as good as the klim arctic is the castle deflector. It’s a copy of it. It’s cheaper too.

 

The Castle is cheaper because its cheaper. lol.

No Gore Windstopper in the Castle. You get what you pay for. The Klim Arctic is the best in the business.

 

Klim arctic all the way. Gilfriend caved in after years of saying they were ridiculous. Now she only run klim arctics, the doo and fxr are sleeping far away in the closet

 

I've tried both the klim arctic and glacier and I personally like the FXR black-ops elite balaclava better. The elite has a zipper and Velcro tab behind the neck that allows you to Tighten up the head piece so it's nice and snug with zero air gaps. Adjustable nose piece too works well for me.

They are all similar designs you just need to find the one that works best for you.

 

Used my Klim Arctic when doing military training in the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter. Nice and warm, get one. It needs to be cold out, well below zero, or you will sweat bad. My experience, have another lighter cover for warmer weather.

 

Klim arctic for cold days

Bingo

 

You might want to consider getting two. I change mine out during the day as they do tend to get a little wet and frosted up from breathing out of them. I have them in stock if you need one just PM me

Thanks

Yes. The $5.00 thin balaclavas work fine.

 

I’ve got two Arctics now, and will be adding a Glacier this year as well. Sometimes the Arctic is too warm during warmer conditions or more active off trail riding. I also carry a spare standard Klim balaclava just Incase, but I haven’t used that thing for 5 years.

 

I don't like my Klim Arctic. It lets too much wind in the mouth area (freezes my lips!) when riding fast trails when the temp drops.

 

Trying a Klim Covert this year... $50 bucks ..

I have been using my Fly Ignitor... $30 bucks, on frigid days

Modular helmet is too tight for any breath box apparatus, have a Ski-Doo Extreme with that, does not work well IMHO

The $5 dollar one's work well when it's 32 F or above :blink:

 

I have tried many and i always use the klim artic, unles its warm, I dont have a windshield, goggles seal good, very warm .

I use a huge windshield, and don't worry about it.

 

Do you guys wear the breath deflector with the Klim Arctic or do you go without?

 

Started out with a No-Fog neoprene mask with a Turtle-fur balaclava for years and sealed up my goggles great. Hated wearing 2 head pieces but it worked awesome. Tried the Klim Arctic and love it. Have been using it for years and it seals up awesome. I have a Klim Glacier as well and like the lighter weight material, but I don't think it seals up as well as the Arctic so I don't wear the Glacier very much. I have a Klim F3 helmet with lots of ventilation to help while wearing the Arctic and playing off-trail working up a sweat.

Take it right out.

Take it out. I also take my helmet and gorilla tape all the ventilation ports on the inside of the helmet.
With my Klim F3 carbon helmet, I also got the windstopper liner to put in to further isolate the wind from passing thru the helmet.
I wear my snowcross helmet for high speed trail riding and I am quite comfortable with this setup down to -5 below zero.
The windshield on my sled is only 5 inches tall.

once it gets to -10 and colder I switch to a different style helmet.

 

I use a No Wind balaclava ,don 't know if it is better than the klim .
