Ruskovilla organic merino knit wool is soft and stretchy. These balaclavas are ideal for wearing underneath a bicycle helmet, or helmet for hockey or other cold weather sports. The balaclavas go on and off easily. They're easy to pull off with one hand if need be, if one starts overheating during activity, but for cold winds, Ruskovilla balaclava bonnets are great for protecting ears, chins, and necks from cold drafts.
Please note: As they are pure wool with very little treatment, heat or too much agitation during washing will cause wool to felt. It it recommended to handwash with a wool detergent, or machine was in a front loading washer on woolens cycle. However, since they are wool, it is not necessary to wash them too often, as the high lanolin content in the wool means that there is a natural oxidation process that occurs. We suggest to let them air out a bit in between wearings, and wash only when needed. During summer months, or when otherwise not in use, we also recommend to store them in a resealable plastic bag - the one that they come in works great - to help protect them against moths.
