Reise Haut Balaclava

A balaclava is the least glamorous thing in a rider's kit and the one that most improves the helmet you already own. It keeps sweat and hair oil out of the liner, which is what actually makes a helmet start to smell, and it stops the liner dragging on your ears every time you pull the helmet on.

The Haut uses the same moisture-wicking, anti-odour fabric as the Reise base layers. Secondary benefits worth having: it takes the edge off wind noise around the neck roll, and in winter it seals the gap between collar and helmet that lets cold air in.

Key Features

• Moisture Wicking
  Moves sweat off the scalp instead of into the helmet liner.

• Thin Enough Not To Change Helmet Fit
  Adds coverage without padding out the shell.

FAQs

Q: Will it make my helmet tight?
It is thin enough that it should not change the fit. If your helmet is already at the limit of snug, expect it to feel marginally closer.

Q: Is it too hot for summer?
Most riders find the opposite - it wicks sweat so evaporation works, and it keeps the liner dry.

Q: How do I wash it?
Cold hand wash, air dry. Do not tumble dry technical fabric.

Q: Does it come in sizes?
One size, cut to stretch.

Local Buying Guide

In Indian heat a helmet liner absorbs a lot of sweat, and most liners are awkward to remove and slow to dry. A balaclava is the practical answer. Browse balaclavas and helmet liners.
