The balaclava has long been an essential saviour for alpine skiers, but recently, it has emerged as a prime fashion statement in urban settings. We have partnered with our local tailor for an exclusive collaboration. Join us in the making of the Alba balaclava — a unique, limited-edition design.
A COLLABORATION WITH OUR LOCAL TAILOR
For small-scale collections and precise tailoring, we collaborate closely with Kihléns Konfektion, a talented tailor with generations of expertise, operating from their studio in Hökerum, near the 8848 Altitude headquarters.
_“Sewing with precision and passion is an inevitable success factor.”_

FOR ON-PISTE AND URBAN SETTINGS
The balaclava is the ideal standalone and layering piece, providing warmth and stylish protection, designed for comfort with neck and front chest coverage.
BREATHABLE POLARTEC® FLEECE
The Alba balaclava ensures excellent protection from the elements, made from warming, moisture-wicking, and highly breathable Polartec® fleece with a windproof lining and a heavy-duty zipper — perfect for demanding weather conditions.
