The BT DBXL V2 lightweight balaclava is specifically designed for motorcycle use in conditions of intense heat and high perspiration. Whether racing or touring, under a full-face or modular helmet, it is engineered to perform where ventilation and sweat management become critical.
Optimized to rapidly dissipate body heat, it promotes moisture dispersion and keeps the skin dry even during prolonged use.
40% lighter than the 4-Season line, it represents the lightest and most breathable head base layer ever developed by SIXS for the motorcycle segment.
Built for intense heat
The LIGHT BT V2 balaclava is designed for helmet use in intense heat and high perspiration. Its breathable structure promotes heat dispersion and helps keep the skin dry while riding.
Breathable mouth and nose area
A more open textile structure in the mouth and nose area improves airflow and helps manage moisture from breathing during riding.
Ergonomic seam placement
Flat seams are positioned behind the ears to improve comfort during use. This placement reduces fabric overlap and helps minimize pressure on the front of the head.

LIGHT BT V2 architecture
The LIGHT BT V2 fabric is engineered for intense heat, humidity, and high perspiration. It promotes body heat dispersion and accelerates moisture transfer to the outside, helping keep the skin dry during activity.
The multi-zone construction combines more compact, durable areas with high-ventilation zones, placing breathability and stability exactly where needed.
40% lighter than the 4-season line, it represents the lightest and most breathable platform ever developed by SIXS.
