Maybe we belong to the Ron Dugay school of helmet wearing…but the sec we saw this in our inbox-the
Slytech Balaclava Pro XT--$119-made with a proprietary know-how, including EVA foam based material
2nd Skin-that claims -quoting here:
Compared to a helmet that complies with the ASTM F2040 American snow sports helmet standards, the BALACLAVAPRO XT can absorb up to 60% in terms of speed…we were intrigued enough to consider covering up our flowing tresses…especially in the freezing could weather where we never have enough layers on. Made of soft to the skin micro Lycra materials…with antimicrobial properties on board. One size.
Probably an urban necessary accessory too -dodging bicycle riding daredevils maneuvering the crowded city sidewalks-where they're not supposed to BE!
