What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"My strands and my braids are no hassle. In fact, this hood encourages me to wear them comfortably and confidently while I'm riding."We dialed in the hood on our Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lightweight Balaclava Baselayer Top to create comfort with any hairstyle. The shape of the hood's opening mimics a cozy balaclava while leaving room for face-framing strands and pulled-through braids or ponytails. In addition to the unique hood, this stand-out style features Responsible Wool Standard-certified merino wool fibers for technical performance and thoughtful stewardship. The material manages moisture, resists odor buildup, and regulates body temperature, and its lightweight construction keeps skintrack trekkers and active park rats comfortable while on the move.We built these baselayers to perform beneath competition layers, keeping Jamaica’s bobsleigh and skeleton athletes comfortable from warmup to finish.
