Sparco RW-7 Delta Balaclava

The Sparco RW-7 Delta Balaclava is a fire-resistant head sock built for drivers who need reliable protection and moisture control under a helmet during 4 cycle racing. When you are strapped in for a session, comfort and protection matter as much as grip and braking. This balaclava is designed to help reduce heat and sweat buildup under your helmet while meeting key sanctioning-body requirements. Built for track days, endurance stints, and wheel-to-wheel racing, it uses a performance fabric blend and a body-mapped knit structure for a secure fit and improved comfort around the eye opening.

What you get

Fit and use

The differentiated knit structure follows natural head movement while the thin profile sits flat under most auto racing helmets. It helps manage heat and sweat during track sessions or longer stints without adding bulk. The body-mapped knit structure provides a secure fit and improved comfort around the eye opening. This makes it suitable for extended use where maintaining focus is essential.

Many drivers use it for karting for sweat control and comfort. Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry to maintain the fire-resistant properties and stretch. Its thin, ergonomic design is intended to sit comfortably under most auto racing helmets without adding bulk.
