    Default Balaclavas

    What are ppl using? I have been buying three sparco, they are expensive $100cdn ish and last only half a season before they stretch out and I have an XS head!

    Also the seam down the middle is killer using a sparco helmet as I found out after 2 hours of continuous wearing

    I recently bought PXP. Better than any others I've found.

    How do you see out of your socks that you stretch over your head?

    I really like RaceQuip balaclavas, they are cheap, and I just toss them out when they get gross. I had CarbonX stuff for a while, but the quality isn't worth the price difference. Same with Sparco.

    There is a process that preserves the condition of the garmet. Commonly known as washing.

    I'd rather spend $60 and be comfortable than save $30 and mess around with it.
    The pxp are not carbonx.

    Another vote for PXP. They are made from Kermel, Soft and very comfortable
