What you get

• FIA 8856-2018 homologation
• Seamless stretch Nomex construction in key areas
• No seams across the mouth, chin, or forehead
• X-Cool treatment for heat draw and antibacterial effect
• Ultra-soft stretchable material

Fit and use

The design removes the traditional center seam on the forehead and eliminates seams at the mouth and chin so helmet pressure stays off those zones. The body-mapped stretch follows a seated driving position for comfort during long sessions. The fully seamless structure with ultra-soft stretchable material provides a very comfortable fit.

X-Cool treatment pulls heat away from the skin while the antibacterial finish helps control odor on repeated uses. The balaclava pairs directly with any FIA-rated suit and helmet for complete coverage in 4 cycle racing. When designing this line, Sparco studied the drivers seating position to ensure ultimate fit and comfort.
