Review on ROTTO Balaclava Motorcycle Windproof Waterproof Outdoor Recreation by Jerry Frey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits well and warm! But.

I wear a medium sized helmet and this balaclava is quite tight. She has room to maneuver but not enough to slide around everywhere. When putting the helmet on I have to hold the front and be careful not to let the top fall over my eyes, but when fully on it stays in place. It fits the bridge of the nose a little loosely, even with an insert with a small soft metal rod that allows you to contour the nose to the face. It is very warm and keeps my ears and neck warm in 30 degree weather while riding. Over 80 km/h on the Autobahn. I had to go for the non-zip one, if only because it's difficult to zip with gloves or with one hand. And it really can't be removed without unzipping it. The only real downside I can think of is that while it's insulated enough to keep my face and neck warm, it's still thin enough to let in an alarming amount of wind noise. . Without the balaclava I can hear music perfectly in my helmet with little wind noise, but with it I only hear wind noise. I don't know how or why, but it transmits a lot of wind noise straight into the helmet. He's doing his job. If you're using headphones in a helmet and not a communications system, this should be near perfect.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Incorrect
