Innovative, bold, and incredibly high-performing. The prestigious international magazine Bicycling.com has included the unique new winter accessory from the Australian brand Attaquer among its “Winter Cycling Essentials”: we are talking about the OrbKnit™ Balaclava.
This technical balaclava is designed to tackle the freezing temperatures of winter rides and is already creating a buzz due to its extreme versatility: it can be worn traditionally under the helmet or stretched over the helmet to act as a true thermal and aerodynamic shield.
The technological heart of this innovation? Our Dryarn® microfiber.
Inspired by the intricate natural logic of the Orb-Weaver spider web, Attaquer chose to engineer this accessory using an advanced 3D seamless construction entirely Made in Italy. The single-body structure minimizes production waste and blends different knit densities into a single layer. By leveraging the unique properties of Dryarn®, the balaclava offers unparalleled benefits for cyclists:
Active Thermoregulation: Dryarn® retains body heat, protecting against freezing winds without ever overheating the head.
Integrated Zonal Ventilation: Moisture is instantly wicked away from the skin, keeping the face and head dry through specific mesh areas, which also prevents goggles and glasses from fogging up.
Extreme Lightness: Total insulation from the cold in an accessory with almost imperceptible weight and zero bulk, optimized specifically for low-temperature performance.
Once again, Dryarn® proves to be the essential ingredient for brands looking to push the boundaries of design and performance in the cycling world.
