Description

Arc'teryx LEAF Assault Balaclava FR Gen 2 Why has the balaclava become an iconic piece of Special Forces gear? We look at why modern Special Forces wear these masks, what makes them so advanced, and why most civilians can't even buy one. Some images and footage in this video are used under fair use principles for the purposes of education, commentary, and historical analysis.
