Verified Customer Reviews for Oxford Deluxe Balaclava
Our customers say…
Customers praised the balaclava for its quality, comfort, and warmth. Its silk material offers excellent breathability and a snug fit, making it ideal for both short and long rides. Some mentioned the fit could be tight, especially for those with larger heads, but overall, the fabric's softness and moisture-wicking properties were well-received. While some experienced minor issues with the eye aperture and elasticated face, the product received positive feedback for value and performance. A durable, practical choice for motorcyclists.

Tight fit
12 November 2024 by Anonymous
The balaclava is a very tight fit and I am only size medium in crash helmet sizes. I hope it will stretch in time. It's not as windproof as I had hoped for either. Finally, the washing instructions say hand wash only, which is an unwelcome maintenance overhead.

Merino Marvel
07 September 2024 by Adam L
I've been using this Oxford Merino Balaclava for several weeks now and I'm thoroughly impressed. It's been a game-changer for my riding comfort. The merino wool material is soft and it does a fantastic job of keeping my head and neck warm.
One of the standout features is its ability to keep my helmet feeling fresh and clean for longer. The merino wool naturally inhibits odor-causing bacteria, so my helmet stays smelling great even after multiple rides. Additionally, the balaclava acts as an effective breath guard, preventing my breath from fogging up my visor, especially when using a pinlock insert.
Overall, I highly recommend this product to any rider looking for a comfortable, warm, and hygienic head and neck covering.

My second Oxford silk balaclava
23 August 2024 by Chap
This is my second one of these, I have tried a few but this silk version is the most comfortable, the seems are thin enough that you don't feel them under your helmet and on a warm day it pulls down far enough to keep the wind off your neck.
Highly recommended.

Not impressed
13 July 2024 by Evan
This is my 3rd Oxford product and honestly I can safely say I'm not a fan of their products.
In this particular example, I can't feel any "silkiness" to it, its surface is quite rough, and my hair is totally electrified after each ride. I think this one will probably be my last Oxford purchase. Average prices for average products, as simple as that.

Saves your ears
24 June 2024 by Rup
Apart from keeping your helmet lining clean, it enables your helmet to slide over your ears with ease. It is thin and comfortable and can be used with glasses. It seems to wick moisture away and reduces some of the draughts around your neck without feeling claustrophobic.

Very Silky
19 April 2024 by M F
I often wear scarfs instead of balaclavas but got annoyed with them falling down when putting my helmet on. This has a great texture to it and feels really nice! It doesn't make me too hot either which is a huge benefit!

Protects my hair and skin !!!!
20 February 2024 by Kate
I changed my helmet and the new 22 06 rating helmets are snugger fitting for sure … this silk balaclava helps stop my hair being pulled when putting the helmet on and I'm sure from a skin care point of view is also better against my skin !
It's so a comfortable fit and easy to hand wash and dry overnight .

Mostly ok
07 December 2023 by CJ
Overall quality is good but it's a "one size fits most" situation.
I take an XL size helmet (62?) and I'm finding this a bit hard to get on due to how tight it is going over my head.
Once on it sits mostly ok but it's tight in the width across my temples, and the eye hole is slightly restricting my vision on shoulder checks - not by much but it's noticible as it's a few mm in from the edge of my helmet's visor port in both directions.
Quality is good though, very good at protecting my neck from current cold air, but I'd only recommend it to people who take a L or smaller helmet.

Good, but not perfect
12 September 2023 by Peter H
I prefer silk over polyester, and this balaclava is made from a nice, thick silk. Unfortunately, I'm not keen on the elasticated face aperture, so it drops a star.

Soooooo Comfortable!
31 March 2023 by Adam S
This balaclava is so silky comfortable and warm.
It was a bit weird to start with as i'm not used to wearing tight fitting balaclava's. I thought the fit was snug to start but soon got used to it and the breathability is fantastic!
I really like how it fits over the chest slightly and is a snug fit.
Makes wearing my helmet feel really comfortable again, just like it's new!
I can see myself wearing this for a lot longer than just winter
Thanks for superb service as well SBS!

Stretchy silk for all weather
21 February 2023 by Anonymous
First time buying or using a balaclava. With so many options I had no idea which one to get for all year use. Went with the silk based on other reviews and so far no issues with heat in the helmet or moisture near the mouth after I wear it. I have noticed that it stretches enough to need a wash and dry in between uses or else it takes a bit of fiddling with the second time I wear it or even if I take it off and put it back on more than once or twice in a day. Otherwise no issues, but I will be looking to get a second one for those days when it needs a wash.
