100% MADE IN THE USA! The Weatherneck System incorporates a uniquely designed Mullet Hat with a breathable face mask. The 2 parts magnetize together creating “The Weatherneck System – A Breakaway Balaclava. When things start to heat up, shedding layers is critical to overall performance. When the day starts out cold, The Weatherneck System provides just enough protection to get the job done. Later, when things get heated, you’re not stuck roasting and choking on something clinging to your neck.

Layering is the key to cold weather performance

The Weatherneck System provides a quick release facemask connected to our uniquely design Mullet Hat using high-powered magnets. This connection allows you to tear away the face mask with 1-hand in 1-second. The Mullet hat provides full coverage of your neck and ears while still allowing your head to ventilate. The face mask features a highly breathable mesh section to reduce fogging. The whole System allows you to adjust to your environment when you are active in the outdoors.

Removes with 1-hand in 1-second

My biggest frustration with traditional balaclavas is that when I finally do heat up, all I want to do is get that thing off my neck! No other design allows you as much flexibility and breathability as The Weatherneck System. Reviews from our users are outstanding and I am confident you will love your System!

Re-sizes to fit your face

Our patent-pending re-sizing system allows you to adjust the tightness of the face mask. Our 1-size hat stretches to accommodate a massive range of head sizes too.

The Mullet Hat

The Mullet hat features a secret pocket for hand-warmer on really cold days, or a credit card or ID. Thoughtful features throughout keep you warm, but comfortable when you are giving it your all.

USA Made

Made from highly technical moisture wicking materials all made in the USA, our System performs exceptionally well. Dyed fabric performs better than printed fabric and our 100% black color choice even opens this product to fit with military and tactical teams.

We want to make clothing that works for you and puts you in control

Our design opens many layering options. You no longer have to start out cold and hope to warm up. Now with The Weatherneck System you can start your day comfortable and be confident you have the power to change your gear as you start to overheat.

About the Startup

Describe your product in 3 words.

A Modular Balaclava

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

I am a cyclist that lives in Wisconsin. When it's cold you still need to get your miles in and I discovered I was constantly having to compromise either starting cold or finishing too hot. With my system design you can adjust to your environment. A little fabric around your neck is a massive difference maker in your comfort level. Comfort equals performance!

What makes your product special?

Our design is well thought out and constructed from high-quality materials. Can you get a balaclava from china for less money? yes...sure. But then you will always be compromising your comfort.

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

Launching my products on Kickstarter is a truly enjoyable experience. Everyone is so supportive and helpful and it is a great opportunity for to fine-tune the product and messaging in a low stress environment. I love creating products that solve my needs. Hopefully you can see the passion built into the design!
