Helly Hansen Balaclava
Keep warm with a Helly Hansen Balaclava
Yes, it makes you look a bit like André Stander caught somewhere between the bank’s front door and his Cortina Interceptor, but you’ll have the last laugh when your friends are all frozen to the bone during a winter holiday in the Drakensberg.
A balaclava is what mountaineers, polar explorers and even some motorcyclists wear, because it covers the head, face and neck. This one is made of polypropylene, which dries quickly, so it’s ideal for activities like hiking or skiing where you want perspiration to evaporate as fast as possible so you don’t get clammy.
Price: R160

Go! says: Some people might find this claustrophobic, but remember it’s made for Drakensberg-type cold.
