Three pieces of kit in one

The 5.11 Stratos Hood does the job of a neck gaiter, a hood and a balaclava in a single piece. Wear it around your neck, pull the hood over your head, deploy the face shield, or combine all three for maximum coverage on the coldest days.

Warm, stretch fabric

Made from a 91% polyester and 9% elastane blend with a soft fleece back, it locks in warmth while stretching to move with you. At just 173 g/m2 it stays light enough to layer under a helmet or hood.

Adjustable coverage

An encased shock-cord elastic lets you cinch the mouth and nose cover for a snug fit, so wind and cold stay out whether you are stalking, skirmishing or commuting.

Comfort that lasts

Flat seams minimise chafing, while anti-odour, moisture-wicking fabric keeps you dry and fresh through long days out. Explore more cold-weather clothing to finish your kit.

Frequently asked questions

How many ways can I wear it?

Three. Wear it as a neck gaiter, pull the hood over your head, or deploy the face shield over your mouth and nose for full balaclava coverage.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Yes. The stretch fabric has a soft fleece back that locks in warmth, making it ideal for cold skirmish days, stalking and general outdoor use.

Will it fit under a helmet?

Its slim, lightweight 173 g/m2 build and stretch fit sit comfortably under a helmet or hood without excess bulk.

Does the face cover stay in place?

The mouth and nose cover uses encased shock-cord elastic so you can adjust it for a snug, secure fit that will not slip.

Is it a one-size product?

Yes. The Stratos Hood is one size fits most, using its stretch fabric to fit a wide range of head and neck sizes.
