Finntrail · Head and neck protection
How do you protect your face and neck on a snowmobile?
Finntrail head and neck protection for snowmobiling is a balaclava under the helmet and hats for stops. The RAVEN 9725 balaclava covers your face, neck and chest, and the neoprene mask at the mouth directs exhaled air downwards so the helmet visor does not fog up. When riding it matters most, while the HAT WATERPROOF 9714 membrane hat comes in handy when you take off your helmet and stand in the cold for longer.
How to choose, who it is not for, and FAQ
Who it is for
- •At speed in hard frost, when the wind blows into the gap between helmet and collar: the windproof design of RAVEN 9725 covers your face, neck and chest.
- •When your helmet visor fogs up: the mask at the mouth directs your warm breath downwards rather than onto the visor.
- •Stops and jobs around the sled without a helmet: in the HAT WATERPROOF 9714 the HARD-TEX membrane keeps out wind and moisture, and fleece keeps your head warm.
- •A cooler spring day: the light, stretchy WATERPROOFHAT 9711 with a water resistant coating.
How to choose
When riding, your helmet covers your head, so under it you need a windproof balaclava. The hats are for time without a helmet.
Situation Best for Models Under the helmet while riding A fleece lining keeps you warm, a dense stretchy outer fits snugly, and the deflector keeps the visor from fogging. RAVEN 9725 No helmet, cold and wet The membrane keeps out water and wind, and fleece warms your head while you stand by the sled or the campfire. HAT WATERPROOF 9714 No helmet, a cool day A light stretchy hat for when it is not very cold. WATERPROOFHAT 9711 What it is not for
- •Impact protection. The balaclava and hats protect against cold and wind; they do not replace a helmet.
- •Wearing a hat under a helmet. The hat descriptions do not mention wearing them under a helmet; the RAVEN 9725 balaclava is made for that.
- •Your eyes. Goggles with an elastic strap protect your eyes from wind and snow; the balaclava does not cover them.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the helmet visor fog up, and how can I prevent it?
The visor fogs up when warm exhaled air hits the cold visor. The neoprene mask of the RAVEN 9725 balaclava directs your breath downwards, towards your neck, so less of it reaches the visor.
Does the RAVEN balaclava cover the chest too?
Yes, RAVEN 9725 protects your face, neck and chest. In these areas the windproof material stops the draught that gets in through the jacket collar when riding fast.
Which hat is warmer: HAT WATERPROOF 9714 or WATERPROOFHAT 9711?
HAT WATERPROOF 9714 is warmer: it has a HARD-TEX membrane and a fleece lining. WATERPROOFHAT 9711 is a lighter stretchy hat for a cooler day, and for deep winter the maker recommends the membrane model.
What should I wear on my head when I stand and wait for the others?
Take off your helmet and put on the HAT WATERPROOF 9714: the membrane keeps out wind and moisture, and the fleece keeps your warm head from cooling down too fast. After the trip, rinse the sweat out of the balaclava.
