Balaclava Graphene Shield Windproof Black

FEATURES:

Flat seams reduce chafing and bulk under the helmet. The breathable and bacteriostatic insert in the nose/mouth area allows for free breathing and keeps the head clean. A highly breathable insert with graphene technology is located on the shell, making the balaclava more elastic, improving the fit, and well-ventilated, taking into account the windproof membrane's effect. Positioned throughout this technical garment, the windproof membrane protects the neck and cervical area from the wind while maintaining an anatomical and ergonomic fit. Lightweight, elastic, and stable, it is ideal for intense activities or long journeys.

DESCRIPTION:

• Graphene Technology (Shell Fabric) -  Graphene is an innovative material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms, packed with extraordinary properties. Transformed from the laboratory into the textile industry, it is applied to yarns, fabrics, padding, and more, improving their performance without altering their natural structure. One of its key features is its ability to distribute heat evenly, promoting thermoregulation and increasing wearer comfort. Furthermore, thanks to its nanometric structure, it inhibits the growth of bacteria and helps reduce the formation of unpleasant odors. Finally, the graphene used comes from renewable natural sources, such as the biomass of charred corn cobs, thus ensuring a more sustainable approach.
• Flatlock seams -  Minimize bulk and pressure points or chafing during prolonged use of the balaclava. The feeling is that of a garment that adapts to the shape of the head without leaving visible marks on the skin. Furthermore, the thin structure and flatlock seams minimize the bulk between the head and the helmet, ensuring a smooth and natural fit.
• Breathable and bacteriostatic insert in the nose/mouth area -  Made of polypropylene and elastolefin, a combination designed to offer maximum functionality in a delicate area. Polypropylene promotes breathability and moisture wicking, keeping the skin dry and limiting the formation of condensation inside the helmet. Elastolefin ensures elasticity and softness, adapting to the shape of the face without constriction. Furthermore, it is naturally resistant to bacteria and mold, chemicals, and heat, ideal for technical sportswear. The bacteriostatic function of a fabric does not eliminate bacteria, but limits their growth by preventing them from multiplying. This helps reduce the formation of unpleasant odors and maintains the hygiene of the garment over time, even after repeated uses. The result is effective protection that allows you to breathe freely and reduces the risk of fogging of glasses or the visor.
• Windproof (excluding nose/mouth area and shell) -  The membrane integrated into the fabric offers effective wind protection without compromising the overall breathability of the balaclava. This means that sweat and moisture are wicked away and dry quickly, preventing the skin from overheating. As a result, the balaclava remains lightweight, ventilated, and comfortable even on longer rides. The fabric is thin and flexible, so it doesn't increase the thickness between the head and the helmet, maintaining a snug, natural fit.
• Windproof insert also in the cervical area -  Designed to offer targeted protection in the areas most exposed and sensitive to air currents. Made with a technical barrier fabric, it prevents wind from penetrating the helmet liner, helping to maintain a stable temperature across the front of the neck and the back of the neck. This feature significantly improves thermal comfort.
• Anatomical and ergonomic -  This balaclava combines an anatomical structure that faithfully follows the natural shape of the head with an ergonomic design to ensure comfort and freedom of movement during use. The result is a precise and stable fit that adapts like a second skin. The lines and materials are designed to offer enveloping coverage, to help keep the head in place under the helmet and to ensure a feeling of lightness even during intense or prolonged activity. A perfect balance between adaptability and functionality.
• Thin and Lightweight -  The construction of this balaclava ensures an excellent fit under your helmet without adding bulk. The compact fabric combines comfort and protection, while offering a pleasantly lightweight feel, ideal for extended wear.
• Highly breathable inserts -  The upper part of this balaclava features a breathable fabric that quickly wicks away moisture and body heat, keeping the skin as dry as possible. This sweat management contributes to overall comfort, reducing the feeling of dampness or overheating. Furthermore, breathability promotes proper ventilation and reduces the buildup of condensation in the helmet.
• Promotes thermoregulation -  This natural thermal adaptation function helps prevent temperature changes, reducing the feeling of cold or overheating under a helmet. Thanks to the yarn's unique structure and its ability to react to body heat, the fabric promotes the dispersion of moisture and excess heat when temperatures rise, and retains heat when the environment is colder. The result is constant and long-lasting comfort, even in variable weather conditions. The thermoregulating fabric is therefore ideal for all seasons, always dry next to the skin.
• Light temperature range (+10°/+30°) -  Ideal for all seasons, except freezing and muggy weather. It's helpful to take into account your subjective perception and anticipated physical activity. The temperatures in our temperature ranges are purely indicative.
