Key Features of Riding Balaclavas at Trekkers 1. Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Fabric Our balaclavas are made from high-performance polyester, spandex, or lycra blends. These fabrics wick sweat away from your skin and allow air circulation, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable even in Bangalore’s humid climate or Mysore’s summer heat. 2. All-Weather Comfort Whether you're riding through monsoon rain, summer sun, or cool hill station breezes, these balaclavas are designed for year-round use. Some models are even thermal-lined for winter rides or made with mesh panels for high-temperature zones. 3. Universal Helmet Compatibility Slim-profile construction ensures the balaclava fits snugly under full-face, half-face, or modular helmets without causing pressure points or bulk. No need to adjust your helmet size. 4. Full Face and Multi-Way Coverage The design covers the entire head, neck, and sometimes the lower face—you can wear it as a full mask, neck gaiter, or beanie-style under-helmet liner. Many styles allow for different configurations based on riding conditions. 5. UV and Dust Protection Protect your skin from harmful sun rays, urban air pollution, road dust, and insect hits. This is especially important on open highways, forest trails, or dusty city rides. 6. Antibacterial and Odor-Resistant Made with anti-microbial treatments, our balaclavas help prevent the build-up of odors and bacteria from sweat. This means a fresher ride and longer gear life. 7. Easy Maintenance Lightweight and quick-drying, these balaclavas are machine-washable and ready to ride again in no time. Keep your gear clean, hygienic, and hassle-free.
Motorcycling is more than a ride—it’s a lifestyle, an escape, and a daily challenge. As a rider, your helmet is your most important gear. But what goes underneath it matters just as much. That’s where the Riding Balaclava comes in—your first layer of defense against wind, sun, dust, pollution, sweat, and cold.
Now available brand new at Trekkers stores in Bangalore and Mysore, our balaclavas are crafted for Indian motorcyclists—designed to fit seamlessly under helmets, wick away sweat, and protect your face, neck, and head from the elements. Whether you’re zipping through Bangalore’s traffic or cruising through the hills near Mysore, a riding balaclava offers comfort, hygiene, and safety in one.
A balaclava is a close-fitting cloth headgear that covers the head, neck, and face (with openings for the eyes or full face). For bikers, it serves many purposes:
Acts as a helmet liner to reduce sweat build-up
Prevents skin irritation from long helmet use
Protects against pollution, dust, and UV rays
Keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer
Improves helmet hygiene and prolongs helmet life
For short commutes or long rides alike, a balaclava is a simple but essential piece of gear that every rider should own.
These offer complete head and neck coverage with a single eye slit or full opening. Great for long rides and winter protection.
Perfect for city use or hot weather. They cover your neck and part of your face, ideal when paired with a full-face helmet.
These can be worn in multiple styles—as a balaclava, neck tube, scarf, or headband—making them extremely versatile for adventure riders.
Ideal for riders heading to cold regions or high altitudes. These are fleece-lined and offer maximum warmth and wind resistance.
If you ride every day in Bangalore’s pollution and traffic, a balaclava protects your skin from dust, grime, and helmet sweat.
For long-distance journeys, balaclavas reduce windburn, sweat irritation, and UV exposure, while keeping your helmet clean.
Exploring regions like Coorg, Ooty, or Wayanad? A thermal balaclava keeps your face and neck insulated from cold gusts and mist.
Dust trails, forest rides, and off-beat routes require protection from insects, branches, and flying debris—a balaclava helps shield you.
Trekkers stocks balaclavas that are tailored for Indian weather and road conditions—not just imported designs that don’t suit local needs.
