Description

Remlite’s Bowen 150 Balaclava by SKRE delivers stealth, breathability, and warmth; a superfine merino head layer built for New Zealand hunters.

The Bowen 150 Balaclava by SKRE is an essential mid-weight hunting layer, designed to provide concealment, insulation, and comfort across New Zealand’s demanding backcountry conditions. Crafted from 150 GSM superfine merino wool, it offers the perfect balance of breathability and stealth, ensuring hunters remain focused on the pursuit rather than discomfort.

At only 57 g (2 oz), the balaclava embodies our Remlite commitment to ultralight hunting gear. Its lightweight construction means it can be easily carried as part of a layering system without adding bulk. The superfine 17.5-micron merino fibres provide softness against the skin while delivering insulation capable of keeping hunters warm during early-morning glassing sessions or cold alpine hunts.

Because moisture control is vital during long hunts, the Bowen 150 Balaclava by SKRE features excellent moisture management. It wicks sweat away from the skin, keeping the face dry even during strenuous climbs. Multi-directional stretch ensures a secure but comfortable fit, while its “one size fits most” design makes it a versatile addition to any hunting kit.

The natural properties of merino wool provide additional advantages in the backcountry. The balaclava is naturally antimicrobial, reducing odour and keeping gear fresher for longer. It is naturally UV absorbent, helping to eliminate unnatural glare in exposed terrain, and fire resistant, giving hunters added peace of mind in rugged environments.

Designed as a concealment and insulation layer, this balaclava helps hunters remain hidden while delivering dependable comfort. Whether stalking red deer in the Canterbury high country, glassing chamois in the Southern Alps, or navigating the dense North Island bush, this head layer supports the stealth and performance required.

At Remlite, we choose products that enhance both safety and efficiency in New Zealand’s unpredictable wilderness. The Bowen 150 Balaclava by SKRE is a prime example: lightweight, breathable, insulating, and stealth-focused. It belongs in the pack of any serious hunter who demands high-performing gear across multiple seasons.
