5 Balaclavas And Knit Hoods For Trendy Warmth Under ₹500

On cold mornings you need more than a scarf. No wind can get in, because the balaclava covers your head, ears and neck all at once. People bounce back and forth between multiple tabs before they settle on one, and that gets exhausting very fast. So here's a shorter way. Here are five balaclavas and knit hoods from Myntra that suit different budgets, from a riding mask of Rs 400 to a cosy woollen pair. Some suit bike rides. Some suit school runs and cold walks. They all keep you warm.

Think about how you will wear it before you buy it. A knit hood is a good choice for slow, cold days and fits nicely under a hat. Under a helmet, a thin cotton or stretch mask is better. Also check the fabric. Wool retains heat but can be scratchy on bare skin. Cotton is soft and breathable. Lastly, observe the face opening. A wide gap is more tolerant of glasses, while a tight fit keeps out more wind.
