mens Open Face Balaclava

Last year I started wearing full-face helmets again while on my motorcycle and having a lightweight, wick-away balaclava in between my head and the helmet's interior makes for a much more comfortable ride. It also makes putting the helmet on much easier as my ears don't get folded down or put into an uncomfortable spot, and adjusting the helmet is easier overall. This balaclava does feel initially as if it will be too tight but it stretches nicely and is very comfortable all day, and it feels as though the helmet's ventilation works better, allowing the rider to feel the cooling airflow through the helmet. I wear an HJC RPHA 70 ST and even on the hottest days it stays cool inside with the help of this balaclava. Another major advantage? The helmet interior seems far less likely to start to stink. Even after numerous all-day rides, the helmet still smells like new inside. That said, I do have to include the part about how these balaclavas stank when I opened the plastic bags into which they were packaged. My living room smelled as though a large quantity of fuel oil had been spilled. The smell was so strong it induced a headache and I felt nauseated. I had to hang both balaclavas outside for three days just to get the smell at a point where I felt I could run the balaclavas through the wash. I was concerned that if I had put them through the wash immediately they would have made everything else in the washer stink, too. With hope it was just fluke with my order but who knows? Other than that, I do recommend this balaclava for rides in warmer temps as it should make the ride more comfortable and enjoyable.

I’ve had a couple of these now and this one is by far superb, works very well. Protects your helmet from getting stinky, the material is the perfect thickness. It’s warm when you need it to be and also very breathable for the warmer days. It’s a little on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion.

The balaclava fits great, might feel a little tighter in the beginning but it will stretch a little. It covers the neck too so it helps to avoid with zipper of leather rash. I really like the open face design as it allows you to breathe freely. The opening is large enough to cover all the head except your face, not impeding visibility at all, but not so large that it would move back into the helmet and down the back of the neck. It stays in place. It is made with a blend of natural and synthetic fibers, it feels good and doesn't make you hot. If you want to use it for the winter you should probably look at a different one, as this one is not warming. It is great value for the money. I am definitely getting another one or two.

Good quality Comfortable You can't go wrong with alpinestars If I had to buy another I would I have some what of a big head My helmet is a XXL and this face mask fits perfectly It does have to stretch to it But still comfortable. I hope this review helped! Ride safe out there

The neck on this was a stranglehold. I had to send it back.

I love this thing. We have constant construction around Houston so every time the wind blows you get sand blasted by dust/debris. This thing is not only great for saving my neck from debris but also sunburn. It was 98 degrees yesterday on the way home with a heat index around 105 and I can't say that this made it any more miserable. One of the main reasons I bought a balaclava was to help fill some of the gaps in my helmet. I have an oddly shaped head and Arai no longer sells the one lid that ever fit me properly. My new Shoie GT Air is a great helmet but isn't a great fit. This balaclava is just thick enough to resolve my fit issues and relieve some hot spots without adding unnecessary bulk/heat. It should be noted that this is not wind/water proof but it still reduces wind noise slightly over no balaclava. I'm extremely please and will be looking for a similar Alpinestars winter balaclava when my current one bites the dust.

It fits tight under the helmet, which is exactly how it should be to stay comfortable while riding. The material is breathable and well made. It’s not really for winter use, but perfect for mid-season rides. Recommended.
