Jade Balaclava

A balaclava earns its place in a winter kit for one reason: it keeps the parts a helmet doesn't cover, ears, neck, lower face, warm on the rides where standing around at the yard or hacking out in the cold actually matters.

The wool provides structure and insulation, while the cashmere softens the feel against skin, which matters most right at the neck and jaw where synthetic knits tend to itch. It layers easily under a helmet without adding pressure points, and doubles just as well as a piece to throw on around the yard before or after riding, not just in the saddle.

• Soft against skin where it matters most, no itch at the neckline
• Works under a helmet or on its own around the yard
