Why use a neoprene balaclava?
Early season triathlons are usually practiced in fresh water (64°F and below), which can make the swim leg very unpleasant. The neoprene hood can be used to swim comfortably in cool water when worn with your neoprene wetsuit.
Balaclava or cap?
The balaclava chin strap will guarantee secure fit in use, which may prove useful during mass starts.
You can easily put the organization cap over your balaclava.
Which side?
The neoprene balaclava is reversible, 1 black side for sobriety, 1 orange side to reassure you during open water trainings.
