FAQ

Wearing a balaclava under a motorcycle helmet offers several advantages:

  1. Weather protection: It protects the face and neck from cold, wind and rain, making rides more comfortable in adverse weather conditions.
  2. Hygiene: It absorbs perspiration and prevents residues of dirt or natural oils from accumulating inside the helmet, prolonging its life.
  3. Comfort: It reduces friction between helmet and skin, preventing irritation and providing a better fit.
  4. Safety: Some balaclavas are flame-retardant, offering extra protection in the event of an incident.

The choice of material is essential to ensure comfort and performance. Recommended materials include :

  1. Merino wool: Ideal for thermal insulation, it is breathable and absorbs moisture while remaining soft and odorless.
  2. Polyester/elastane: Lightweight, breathable and elastic, perfect for long outings in warm weather.
    Breathable technical fabric (Coolmax, DryFit, etc.): efficiently wicks away perspiration and dries quickly.
  3. Neoprene: Offers protection against wind and moisture, particularly useful in extreme conditions.
  4. Cotton: Comfortable for short trips, but less effective at wicking moisture over longer distances.

To choose the ideal balaclava for your motorcycle, it's important to consider the following criteria:

  1. Climate: Choose a thermal balaclava for winter, or a lightweight, breathable model for summer.
  2. Helmet compatibility: Make sure it's slim and snug-fitting, so as not to interfere with helmet fitting and vision.
  3. Breathability: A model with ventilation zones around the nose and mouth will prevent moisture and fogging of visors.
  4. Versatility: Some balaclavas are modular, allowing the face to be uncovered, or worn in different ways to suit different needs.
  5. Ease of care: Choose models that are machine-washable and resistant to frequent washing.


These criteria will help you choose a balaclava that meets your needs in terms of protection and comfort for your motorcycle trips.
