DAINESE Dry Balaclava Black-Blue

This balaclava – no, not the sweet delicacy (that’s baclava) – or helmet hat has the specific trait and intention of simply keeping your head dry while you’re riding. And no, with a motorcycle helmet on, rain is not the biggest risk factor here.

The Dry Balaclava by Dainese – tried and tested with fast lap times – focuses primarily on sweat. Fear or regular, the ‘Dryarn^® hydrophobic’-material that makes up the main constituent of this helmet hat doesn’t discriminate. The list of product-specific characteristics kind of gives it away: Dryarn^® is breathable, stretching, insulating and light-weight. Bacteriostatic, hypoallergenic and anti-odour are features that have also been added to this list.

Feel free to insert that Dainese has added an extra dose of comfort at ear level and that a balaclava like this is literally seamless – now you know it’s good. ‘Sweat management’ could we call it, in a contemporary and comfortable coat – pardon: balaclava. The fact that you kind of look like a ninja when wearing this Dry Balaclava without a motorcycle helmet, is a personal plus for us. Just saying.
