FAQs
Is this headwear suitable for summer use?
Yes, the Coolmax microfiber is specifically designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for hot weather.
Can I wear this under my motorcycle helmet?
Absolutely. Its thin, seamless construction makes it perfect for wearing under a helmet without causing discomfort.
How do I wear it as a balaclava?
Pull the headwear over your head, pull the front down under your chin, and then pull the top edge up over your nose.
Does the beige color fade?
The fabric is designed for durability, but washing in cold water and drying in the shade will help maintain the color for longer.
Is the material windproof?
It provides a wind-blocking layer, though it is not a thick windproof shell; it is designed for comfort and breathability first.
Troubleshooting
Fabric loses elasticity after repeated washing
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which degrades the elastic synthetic fibers.
Material feels damp after long rides
Ensure the item is not trapped under restrictive, non-breathable clothing layers which can prevent moisture evaporation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the headwear, simply stretch it over your head and position it based on your desired style—whether as a gaiter around your neck, a mask over your nose, or folded into a cap. It is compatible with most riding gear, including leather jackets and textile motorcycle suits.
To maintain the integrity of the Coolmax fibers:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature.
- Use a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the fabric.
- Air dry in the shade to prevent potential heat damage to the synthetic material.
- Do not iron or bleach.
