I don’t like being cold! There is nothing worse than commuting to work when its cold and wet.
Over the years I have tried many snoods and neck warmers, but most of them are either too thin and you feel cold, made from a material which get wet quick and makes you even colder or feels like the snood is trying to strangle you.
Well with the Alpinestars I can honestly say that I have never had any of them issues and for the price, you cant beat them. Everyone should have a decant snood even if there not commuting all throughout the year, there great for a quick ride out in winter (a bike isn’t just for dry summer days you know).
I have used them in temperatures as low as -5 degrees, not a problem for comfort and my neck doesn’t feel cold.
Features:
- Moisture wicking for comfort
- Stretches for a comfortable fit
- Ideal for protecting against wind-chill
- Double layer of insulating single sided fleece
