Skull caps / Balaclava

Another on the list of essentials for a biker... again, something I've been trying to lay my hands on from a very long time, but was too lazy to go search :)

The Skull cap, is something that you wear over your head, before putting on a helmet. Think of a monkey cap.... right... the exact same thing, but in cotton. Balaclava is the term....

The plus points of this underestimated fella are

  1. It absorbs all the perspiration, keeping the helmet a little cleaner
  2. The back of the neck, which is exposed in most helmets gets covered, so no more nasty sun burns there ;)
  3. If you are riding in the cold, it keeps the face a little bit warm
As usual, they are available in a few shops on Lalbagh Rd. Click here to see the location on google maps.

  1. True.. Balaclava/Skullcaps are good to have.

    Shops on JC/Lalbagh don't have proper supply also the quality is not standard.

    recently Cramster came up with balaclavas, decent quality and fair price.

    looks like this
