Lumor_uk Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Anyone recommend one? My bet looks like the BMW Summer storm hood on ebay at the moment. Currently using a wind stopper one which is great for when it's cold but getting hot under the lid lately.I find it easier to wash the balaclava than my helmet inners, plus I look freaking scary when no one can see my face oh and it stops my flappy ears getting folded down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumor_uk Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Silk brings up 1980's look in my head I want hi tech material like a base layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 No man made fibre can rival silk. Warm in winter, cool in summer, light and hard wearing. A better wicking fibre than anything man made. Expensive is all. I have silk undergloves and a silk scarf. It hasn't been around for 4,000 years cos it's crap. Try it and you won't go back.
