Arc'teryx LEAF Assault Balaclava FR Gen 2
Flame-Resistant Protection for Direct Action Missions
The Arc'teryx LEAF Assault Balaclava FR Gen 2 is purpose-built for direct action operations in high-threat environments where flame protection, breathability, and helmet integration are non-negotiable. Designed for full-spectrum tactical use, this flame-resistant balaclava provides face and neck coverage with advanced ventilation to reduce heat buildup and fogging under eye protection.
Engineered with ergonomic flat seam construction and made from lightweight FR mesh materials, this balaclava maintains comfort even when worn under helmets, O2 masks, ear pro, or eyewear. Its dual-wear configuration allows for either eyes-only exposure or full-face exposure, adapting to mission needs and environmental conditions without compromising coverage or airflow.
