Ibex balaclava

[indysteel]

Does your helmet fit over it? If it's so loose that your helmet and chin strap are too tight, then I'd suggest that it's too big.

I have a PI balaclava that fits snugly. I don't end to wear it unless it's below 25 or so because I do overheat with it otherwise. Perhaps I'd be better off with a looser one.

I've played around with it and while it is loose around the nose, I think it will be ok. I can fit my helmet over it, and that seems to help it stay in place. I don't want it so tight that I overheat. I think it is a keeper Thanks everyone! I am not accustomed to winter outdoor activities outside of the occasional hike. My "learning how to ride by riding circles in parking lots" of last winter doesn't quite count.

Did everyone see the balaclavas on Nashbar for $5? (Several of us combined our orders so now that ours are spoken for I can tell others about it.)

I really want one in merino wool and a shell balaclava in goretex, but for now the $5 balaclava will mean that at least we have 2, so both my daughter & I can bike with warm faces on a cold day, instead of me having to decide who gets the balaclava today--me because I'm riding further or her because what kind of mother would be selfish like that? lol
