Motorcycle Balaclavas

There’s nothing that can stop a passionate biker from enjoying the thrill and pleasure of exploring the wilderness or hitting the highway with the wind in the face. If you’re one of those who ride a motorcycle in winter and inclement weather conditions, you need reliable riding gear to keep you warm and comfortable during your adventures. When riding in the cold, you may notice that a high amount of body heat is lost from your head. This is because your motorcycle helmet may not be enough to give your head maximum cold protection. To make your ride safer and more comfortable in harsh weather, consider getting yourself a balaclava.

Designed to offer maximum coverage for your face and neck without restricting your visibility, motorcycle balaclavas are an easy and affordable way to minimize heat loss. If you wear an open face helmet, they will also help protect your face from frostbite, sunburn and other skin irritations by keeping insects, debris, cold wind, harmful UV rays, and other elements away from it. On our website, you’ll find an extensive variety of superior-quality balaclavas from top brands in the industry. The balaclavas we offer are made using lightweight, breathable, and durable synthetic or cotton fabrics to combine exceptional comfort and protection. What’s more, many of them boast vibrant graphics, so you’ll easily choose the one that will not only keep you safe but also enhance your style.

If you have a balaclava and do not like it, then you’ve made a wrong choice. To buy the one that will fit you best, don’t forget to keep in mind some important aspects. First of all, make sure it’s long enough to keep you protected. A balaclava that doesn’t fully cover your neck won’t be warm, so you’ll need additional scarfs to guard your neck against cold winds. It’s also necessary that a balaclava has smooth and properly placed seams. This helps eliminate painful pressure a center seam may cause when a balaclava is worn under the helmet. Your balaclava should also fit snugly across your forehead, cheeks, and chin, so it won’t fall off your head.

Many motorists complain that wearing a balaclava can result in lack of breathability, so when making your final decision make sure the balaclava you’ve chosen allows for ample breathing. You’ll find a diverse array of balaclavas with a massive hole for both the mouth and nose but remember that while such balaclavas provide maximum breathability, they are often inefficient in keeping you warm in cold conditions. Openings may range from enormously large to extremely small, and you’ll have to find a compromise between the level of protection you require and the amount of fresh air you need. A hinged balaclava is a perfect choice for those who want to combine comfort and protection. It keeps your nose and mouth fully protected from the elements and can be easily pulled down when more breathing access is needed.

When shopping for a balaclava, it’s also necessary to consider the size of the eye holes. Avoid options with eye holes that are too small because they will limit your field of vision, compromising your safety and the safety of other road users. Eye openings should be large enough to allow you to look easily in different directions. The fabric your balaclava is made of is also an important factor to pay attention to. It’s not enough that your fabric is warm, it should also be windproof, breathable and have excellent wicking properties to prevent sweating. For the ultimate in protection, choose a waterproof balaclava that is sure to keep rain away from you.
