I think a balaclava may be in my near future. I hate being hot but I guess it's better than being melted.

I've been using one but mainly because it's washable. Keeps the non-removable helmet padding a little fresher during those August DE's.

x2. I also like it because it keeps facial hair from wearing out said non-removable liner as well. My current helmet looks brand new, bbut nearly 4 years old, which I attribute to the Balacava.
