Dakine Balaclava – Octane

Features and specifications

The Dakine Balaclava is made of soft polyester fleece fabric and feels instantly warm on cold days. This close-fitting balaclava has wide eye openings for good vision and wearing comfort and a small Dakine label on the side. The stretchy material allows the balaclava to fit snugly around the head and neck without pinching, so it can be worn under a helmet during downhill, cruising or winter sports. The Octane colour is a multi-coloured design that stands out without being garish.

Who is this board suitable for?

Although the Dakine Balaclava is listed on the product listing for men, this balaclava is suitable for skaters and winter athletes of all levels seeking protection from wind and cold. Suitable for teenagers and adults who often ride outdoors, commute or train off-season. The fit is unisex and works well under helmets on downhill and freeride rides.

Driving style and usage

Use the Dakine Balaclava during cold cruise trips, commuter rides in winter or on the slopes. For skaters riding in windy conditions, the fleece offers extra insulation around neck and ears. Combine with a good helmet and a windproof jacket. Start slowly with short rides to get used to the fit and breathing comfort; the eye openings give sufficient visibility for turns and obstacles.

Advantages and features

Key benefits: excellent thermal insulation through fleece, sleek but comfortable design that fits under helmets, multi-purpose for winter sports and cold weather on the street, and easy to store in your backpack. The Dakine Balaclava is a small but essential part of your cold weather kit.
