Balaclava Race V3 Black Large /X-Large

The Balaclava Race V3 Black Large/X-Large is a professional-grade motorsports head sock engineered for drivers who demand FIA and SFI 3.3 certification in their cockpit safety gear. Whether you're running track days, circuit racing, or competitive autocross events, this single-layer head sock provides the flame-resistant protection required by sanctioning bodies while maintaining minimal bulk under a racing helmet. Alpinestars' Balaclava Race V3 is the standard choice for serious competitors who prioritize regulatory compliance without sacrificing comfort or visibility during extended driving sessions.

Constructed from Lenzing FR flame-resistant fiber, the Balaclava Race V3 delivers lightweight thermal and fire protection with a single-port eyehole design that maintains full facial coverage while preserving critical forward vision. The material's inherent flame resistance means no chemical coating degradation—Lenzing FR fibers are molecularly structured to resist ignition, offering consistent performance lap after lap. At just 0.32 lbs, this head sock won't add noticeable weight or create pressure points under a full-face helmet, and the snug large/X-large fit ensures no excess fabric bunching that could trap heat or reduce airflow during high-intensity driving.

This head sock benefits drivers competing in any FIA or SFI-regulated motorsports series—from road racing and endurance events to amateur club racing where safety gear certification is mandatory. The single-layer construction pairs seamlessly under any full-face or open-face racing helmet, and the large/X-large sizing accommodates most head shapes without requiring a custom fit. Install by simply pulling the Balaclava Race V3 over your head before your helmet, positioning the single eyeport for optimal visibility and ensuring full neck-to-hairline coverage for maximum protection in case of cockpit fire or thermal exposure during high-speed incidents.
