Cool Balaclavas

Just seen these:
https://ballys.bigcartel.com/

Anyone know any other companies that make cool balaclavas? I know some motorcycle companies makes some cool masks (like schampa)

Oh i like. One thing though, I wish most designs i see for face masks/balaclava's aren't were just skulls. If you ever look at motorcycle helmet designs they tend to be so much more unique. Though i am not against the skull design because some of them, admitidly, are pretty awesome looking, well everyone is buying the same thing.

They need a Cylon one. I'd get it.

Actually I like the "coming soon" one with fangs. Think of the fun you could have with very little children in cars.

those are awesome but I would need a mouth hole. Spencer Gifts has some nice ones too at the mall. there was a great Spongebob Squarepants with perfect eye holes but no mouth hole like these:

I'd like them better if the design was continued above the eye hole. They look incomplete to me.

rumrunn6,

Spencer's online has some of the Marvel comic "mask beanies" with mouth holes for $16.99. https://unique-gifts.spencersonline.c...=mask%20beanie Wish I'd know about them earlier, I might have bought the Spiderman one as a Christmas present.

Rolling Stones Lips would be cool. The licensing fee however would probably turn it into a $400 balaclava.

I like the one in the middle of the "Coming Soon" lineup. Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, I think? If they make one with Boba Fett I'm buying it.

It just hit me (after looking at irclean's avatar), if they make a Homer Simpson balaclava, I'm buying one.
