Balaclava Race V3 White

The ALPINESTARS USA Balaclava Race V3 in white is a professional-grade head sock engineered for motorsports competitors who demand fire-resistant protection without compromise. Built to SFI 3.3 and FIA specifications, this single-eyeport balaclava delivers the thermal and flame protection required in high-speed racing environments where cockpit temperatures and incident risk demand certified safety layers.

Constructed from Lenzing FR fiber, the Race V3 provides inherent flame resistance without chemical treatment, maintaining durability through repeated use and washing. The single-eyeport design offers an optimal field of view for drivers while maintaining the coverage and protection integral to FIA-compliant race suits. At 0.3 lbs, the balaclava is lightweight enough for extended wear during full-length race events without adding bulk or restricting helmet fit. The white colorway coordinates with modern race suit palettes and reflects heat in high-temperature environments.

This product is designed for drivers competing in FIA-sanctioned and SFI-certified motorsports, including single-seater series, touring cars, and endurance racing. The Race V3 serves as a foundational fire-protective layer, worn under the helmet and as part of a complete race suit system. Competitors and teams selecting race-approved head protection require documentation of compliance—this balaclava's dual certification meets the regulatory baseline for professional and amateur competition.

ALPINESTARS is recognized in motorsports as a manufacturer of purpose-built safety equipment. The Race V3 line represents the current generation of their head sock offering, updated from earlier iterations to meet modern race standards. Drivers upgrading their safety package or replacing worn head protection will find this model widely accepted across racing organizations and tech inspections.
