Motorcycle Summer Hood - SilkCap

The majority of our balaclavas are one size fits all, as they incorporate materials such as Spandex or elastane in their composition. These stretchy fibers give them great elasticity, allowing the balaclava to easily adapt to different head shapes without compressing the face. For models that require a size choice, it is recommended to measure the head circumference with a tailor's measuring tape. Position it about 1 cm above the ears to obtain the most accurate measurement and ensure a perfect fit.

Our balaclavas are designed to provide optimal protection against the elements while ensuring comfort and practicality during various outdoor activities. They are made from carefully selected materials to ensure effective thermal insulation, optimal breathability, and great durability, even in extreme temperature conditions. Here are the main materials used:

Spandex (elastane or Lycra) is resistant to sweat and water, making it an ideal choice for sportswear that requires quick moisture wicking. Additionally, this fiber is easy to care for as it is resistant to shrinking. Hand or machine washable.

Polyester. With highly absorbent fabric fibers designed against moisture, polyester textile products are reliable allies in rainy or humid weather. Durable, they tear very little. Thanks to its unique resistance, it requires little maintenance. It does not wrinkle, resists UV rays from the sun, does not fade, and does not shrink. In short, it simplifies the life of its wearers.

Ice Silk. Ice silk is a blend of fibers that refers to a very breathable synthetic fabric designed to lower head temperature during intense exertion. It is distinguished by its extremely soft and silky texture. This material is known for its breathability, lightness, and quick-drying capabilities. It offers a cool sensation on the skin, making it particularly appreciated for physical activities.

The Milk Silk fabric is an innovative material made from milk proteins. It is often confused with other materials like polyester blended with silk or other synthetic fibers.

The Soft Milk Velvet is an innovative and soft material that combines two distinct elements: milk silk and velvet. This combination offers a fabric that is both luxurious, soft to the touch, and comfortable, with interesting characteristics for clothing. Soft Milk Velvet is therefore a fabric of choice for luxurious, soft, and comfortable items, perfect for
warm clothing.

Fleece: is a very breathable fabric, allowing sweat to be wicked away from the body. Thus, moisture cannot remain inside the balaclava. Heat is retained. Can be used in any outdoor activities. Hand or machine washable.

The Cationic Fleece is a polyester fleece, soft, warm, and durable, with good thermal insulation and resistance to pilling. It effectively wicks moisture and offers a modern heathered look, ideal for technical and outdoor clothing.

Coral Fleece: Coral Fleece is a revolution in the world of comfort and well-being with its fine and soft texture, free from lint, pilling, and discoloration. Designed to offer exceptional water absorption, three times greater than that of cotton products, it envelops you in unparalleled comfort. Say goodbye to skin irritations and allergies thanks to its hypoallergenic composition.

Cotton + Polyester. Polyester does not shrink and does not change shape like cotton. This blend is easier to wash and dry. And thanks to the cotton component of the blend, cotton-polyester balaclavas are more breathable and can be washed by
hand or machine.

Polyamide (nylon) + spandex (elastane). Polyamide is strong, lightweight, does not shrink in washing, and dries quickly in the open air. Spandex ensures quick moisture wicking, while the breathability and elasticity of the fabric guarantee a perfect fit and lasting comfort.

Polyamide + Polyester + spandex. Polyamide is strong, lightweight, does not shrink in washing, and dries quickly in the open air. Polyester, thanks to its unique resistance, requires little maintenance. It does not wrinkle, resists UV rays from the sun, does not fade, and does not shrink. Spandex ensures quick moisture wicking, while the breathability and elasticity of this fabric guarantee a perfect fit.

Polyester + fleece. Polyester, thanks to its unique resistance, requires little maintenance. It does not wrinkle, resists UV rays from the sun, does not fade, and does not shrink. Can be used in any outdoor activities such as Moto Ski, etc. Fleece fabric offers warmth, lightness, softness, breathability, quick drying, and ease of care, making it a versatile choice for a range of applications.

Cotton is an essential material. The properties of its plant fiber have many advantages. It is hypoallergenic and healthy for the skin. Cotton fabric is recommended for sensitive skin. It allows the skin to breathe while absorbing moisture and sweat. It is flexible, soft, and comfortable.

Rayon is a semi-synthetic textile fiber obtained from natural cellulose, usually derived from wood pulp. The manufacturing process involves dissolving the cellulose before reconstituting it into fibers for weaving. This is why rayon is often referred to as "artificial silk." Rayon can be sensitive to shrinking and wrinkling, and therefore requires delicate care.

Merino wool is a premium material with multiple advantages, ideal for technical clothing and accessories like balaclavas. It provides exceptional thermoregulation, maintaining an optimal body temperature in all seasons. Its unmatched softness is suitable for sensitive skin, and its breathable properties wick moisture while limiting unpleasant odors. Lightweight, compact, and insulating even when wet, it is perfect for outdoor activities. Naturally resistant, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly, it also offers protection against UV rays (up to UPF 50).

To maintain your balaclava and extend its lifespan, avoid using water that is too hot during washing, as this could damage the fibers. Prefer a mild detergent in small amounts, as excess can leave irritating residues on the skin. Never use bleach or harsh detergents that may degrade the material. Also, avoid washing your balaclava too frequently to preserve its thermal insulation properties. The tumble dryer is to be avoided, as is direct sunlight drying, which can weaken the fabrics and cause discoloration. Prefer natural air drying in the shade, laying your balaclava flat to avoid any deformation. If spinning is necessary, gently press out the excess water without twisting to keep its shape intact.
