Balaclava "Frostbeule" dark brown

Night-time ambush on wild boars: It is wonderfully quiet. The moonlight makes the frost sparkle on the wide meadows in front of the high seat, creating a beautiful scene that makes you want to spend the whole night here and almost wish that the wild boars would take a little longer before the nocturnal idyll is interrupted by the aftermath of the shot.
Then, after an hour of waiting, the quietly lurking ambush hunter is puzzled by a faint red glow that starts to appear on both sides of the high seat walls and gradually becomes stronger. The mood changes as the huntsman realizes that it comes from the coverings of their own ears, which slowly begin to glow red – known as the last rebellion before the dreaded numbness.
Lucky is the one who has a WALDKAUZ Frostbeule, as it not only silently saves the chilly earlobes but also protects the head and the wearer from improper hypothermia, ensuring that the well-warmed hunter's head remains cool in the decisive moment.

Covering from head to neck: Practical and silent heat hood

The "Frostbeule" is a combination of a loden loop, ear warmers, and a hat. A warm loop scarf made of soft loden fleece warms the neck and can be pulled up over the nose. It can be adjusted in width at its upper edge with an adjustable elastic drawstring. The loden is cut deeper in the front area so that it fits well into a lower collar cut or a partially open jacket collar.
The hood is attached to the back of the scarf and protects the head and ears from the cold. It can also be adjusted in width with a drawstring and can be worn loosely or tightly around the head like a hat. If it is not needed because it is still warm enough, it can be folded back like any other hood.
What's particularly nice about the design and the interaction of both parts is that the opening of the hood extends far back, allowing the ears to be "brought forward" and slightly pushed forward by the light tension of the fabric. Every hunter knows how much better you can hear when you bring the auricles forward with your hands! However, this only works when the tension of the drawstring is completely loosened. In the tightened state, the ears are covered by the fabric and well protected from the cold.

Perfect addition to the Petz

We have received inquiries in the past asking if the ambush sack and coat "Petz" also come with a hood. We were torn about it because on the one hand, a hood can sometimes make sense, but on the other hand, it can quickly become annoying when not needed. With the "Frostbeule," you can now extend your Petz with an extra warm collar including a hood, and you only need this additional part when the temperatures require it!

Proven material

For this balaclava, we use our WALDKAUZ loden fleece, which has been a proven and breathable source of warmth for many years. It is made of 100% pure wool and is exceptionally soft for loden, has good windproof properties, and is very warm. For us, it is the perfect material for warm hunting clothing.

One size fits all

Since men and women, tall and smaller people do not differ dramatically in head size, and the Frostbeule is adjustable, only one size is needed, which fits everyone.

Area of application: Perfect for winter-cold hunts

Admittedly, the hat is not considered fashionable headwear (it's a bump, after all), but it could hardly be more pragmatic. And honestly, who looks at themselves in the mirror during the ambush, except perhaps selfie-shooting Instagram influencers for whom this hat is simply not suitable. By the way, we also strongly advise against wearing the hat for shopping trips in large cities or even for withdrawing Christmas bonus money from the local savings bank to avoid misunderstandings or confusion!
