They sell windblock balaclavas, but I find that even a
standard one is fine.  I use a exp. wt. polypro
balaclava that I bought at Sierra Trading Post:

The actual weight (had to recheck) is  1.750 oz 
according to my scale.

The med weight one, which STP also sells presumambly
weighs less:

At less than $7, they are quite the bargain.
