The Oxford Deluxe Merino Balaclava is a motorcycle balaclava made from 100% merino wool. It is worn as an additional layer underneath your motorcycle helmet. Ideal for cold days or long rides when your head, ears and neck need extra protection from the cold.
Merino wool has excellent natural thermoregulating properties. The fibres retain body heat when it is cold, while also helping to release excess heat when your body warms up. Merino wool can also absorb a significant amount of moisture without immediately feeling damp. It helps move perspiration away from the skin, keeping you comfortable and dry while riding.
Another key benefit of merino is that it is soft, breathable and lightweight. Despite its excellent insulating properties, a merino balaclava does not feel heavy or overly bulky underneath your helmet. The fine fibres feel pleasant against the skin and provide additional comfort on longer rides.
The 4-way stretch material moves with you and adapts to the shape of your head without feeling restrictive. The flatlock seams sit flat against the skin, helping to reduce pressure points, rubbing and irritation.
This balaclava is relatively simple in design. Simply a reliable merino motorcycle balaclava that does exactly what it is designed to do, without unnecessary technical additions.
Merino wool also has naturally odour-resistant properties. The fibres are less prone to retaining unpleasant odours than many synthetic materials, helping the balaclava stay fresher for longer, even with regular use.
The balaclava also provides a comfortable and hygienic layer between your skin and the helmet lining. This reduces direct contact with the helmet and helps keep the lining fresher and cleaner.
