Headwear

Three flame-resistant garments from Snigel that cover the head and neck without adding bulk under a helmet, headset or hood.

Snigel's FR range for head and neck: balaclava, beanie and neck gaiter in flame-resistant material. Thin enough to wear under a helmet and hearing protection, warm enough to serve as ordinary winter protection the rest of the year.

The three garments

  • FR Annaclava 1.0 — a balaclava that covers the head, neck and lower half of the face in one garment. Can be pulled down to collar height when it gets too warm.
  • FR Beanie -17 — a beanie in grey, short enough to stay in place under a helmet.
  • FR Neck Gaiter -17 — a neck gaiter that covers the neck and can be pulled up over the chin.

Under helmet and headset

Headwear that adds bulk pushes the helmet out of position and forces the headset's ear cushions askew, and then they no longer seal. That is why the garments here are thin rather than thick: the warmth comes from covering the whole neck and head area, not from material thickness. If you want more warmth, put a beanie over the balaclava instead of choosing a single heavier garment.

Flame-resistant material

FR stands for flame-resistant, and Snigel puts it in the product name. The garments are worn by personnel working near vehicles, weapons, engines or open flame. What the material can withstand is stated in the manufacturer's product information — check it against your own requirements if the garment is to be used on duty where your employer sets formal protection requirements.

If you need to add gloves or mid layers, you will find them under tactical clothing and gloves.

Frequently asked questions about headwear

Can I wear the balaclava under a helmet?

Yes, it is made for that. The garment is thin over the crown precisely so that the helmet's padding stays in the right position. Still, try the combination before you need it for real — some close-fitting helmets need one extra click of room, and you only notice when you move your head.

How do I wash flame-resistant garments?

Follow the care label in the garment. As a general rule: low temperature, no fabric softener and no tumble drying; fabric softener and proofing treatments form a film in the weave, which is the last thing you want on a flame-resistant garment. Hang to air-dry, out of direct sunlight.

Is the neck gaiter enough, or do I need the balaclava?

The neck gaiter covers the neck and chin and is enough in milder weather or when you just want to keep the wind off the back of your neck. The balaclava also covers the crown and half of the face, and is the choice in cold weather, on long shifts outdoors or when you want one garment that does everything.
