How can he possibly breathe or see through that thing?

It has spaces between the rows of yarn. That's also why we can see the lighter yarn that makes the shape of his mask face.

If you took a picture of him wearing it, with a special camera set to use certain wavelengths of light, you could actually see right through his balaclava.

Sony had a video camera some years back, that used this technique for ultra low light video recording, and had to change it - it had the ability to look right through some types of clothes - especially thin swim suits and knit cloth.
