Perfect for warmer weather!

01 July 2023 by George

I've been using a balaclava since I started biking over a year ago, but the one I have is much thicker and great for winter, not so good in the heat! This one is much thinner so keeps you cooler but still offers the same wind protection and makes taking the helmet off a doddle! I've got quite a big head but this fits nicely with no issues! Excellent service when from SBS as always.

Work fine

It does the job but its a bit tight on the nose. And it's not the best product type if you wear glasses, it will fog up glasses every time you stop.

Thin but not ultra thin

Not sure of it's purpose. It's not ultra thin but thin. Still difficult to breath through needs venting round nose/ mouth.

Oxford Ultra Thin Balaclava

30 May 2022 by James T

Nice fitting balaclava that doesn't go baggy around the opening. It is thin enough to ware even on hot days and it's a must when you ride into the sun and sneeze in your full face helmet... Yuk! A quick wash and it drys fast, sorted. It has seems that don't leave lines all over your face when you take it off. Perfect.
