Skiing is a game in which players travel over snow with the help of skis. It was intended for the purpose of travelling over snow but it later used as a recreation in the sports. It is, no doubt, an incredible game but it has some cons.
Like, there is a risk of injuries, fracture of bones and in some cases even death. The word ‘’Balaclava’’ has something to do with the garment. It is a piece of cloth that is used to cover the head area and neck region excluding some face parts like nose, eyes, and mouth.
It is usually made of wool or cotton stuff. It is also known as ‘’Balaclava helmet’’ and in the US, it is also known as ‘’Ski mask’’. It is usually used to cover and protect and keep your head, neck, and face except for those parts as mentioned above, warm.
Talking about the history of balaclava, it was first invented in a village named ‘’Balaclava’’ during the war as a headgear. Afterward, the British started using it as facial protection. Talking about its functions, it is used to keep your face warm and especially in snowy and mountain areas.
Moreover, it improves sight in a snow storm. It is also used in sports like skiing, snowboarding, etc. A balaclava if made with really good stuff can protect your face from burning from fire.
