FAQ

A balaclava is a useful accessory for runners, especially in difficult weather conditions. Its main benefits include :

  1. Cold protection : It protects the face, head and neck from wind and low temperatures, preventing frostbite and discomfort.
  2. Moisture management : It absorbs perspiration and transports it to the outside, keeping the skin dry and reducing the risk of chills.
  3. Protection against the elements : In addition to the cold, a balaclava protects against light rain, snow and dust.
  4. Breathing comfort : Some models feature breathable zones around the nose and mouth to facilitate breathing while maintaining body heat.

Choosing the right material is essential to ensure the right balance between warmth, breathability and comfort. The most recommended materials are :

  1. Merino wool : Highly appreciated for its natural warmth, breathability and anti-odour properties, it's ideal for long winter runs.
  2. Technical polyester (DryFit, Coolmax, etc.): Lightweight and breathable, it efficiently wicks away perspiration and dries quickly.
  3. Nylon and elastane : These materials offer good elasticity, adapt well to the face and allow optimum freedom of movement.
  4. Lightweight fleece : Provides good thermal insulation without adding too much weight, perfect for cold but dry conditions.
  5. Windproof fabrics : Ideal for racing in windy conditions, offering a barrier against the cold while allowing breathability.

To choose an effective balaclava for running, it's important to consider several criteria :

  1. Fit and comfort : Opt for a balaclava that's snug but not constricting, to avoid any discomfort while running. A stretchy model with flat seams is recommended.
  2. Breathability : Make sure the balaclava has breathable zones around the mouth and nose to prevent moisture build-up and facilitate oxygenation.
  3. Thermal protection : The level of insulation should correspond to the climatic conditions in which you run (light for autumn, thicker for winter).
  4. Modularity : Some models can be transformed into a neckband or headband for greater flexibility according to your needs.
  5. Ease of care : Choose materials that are machine-washable and resistant to frequent washing, for easy maintenance.

These features will help you choose the balaclava best suited to your running needs, ensuring comfort and protection.
