OMP Tecnica Evo MY26 Balaclava Silver

OMP Tecnica Evo MY26 Balaclava Silver

The OMP Tecnica Evo MY26 is a motorsport balaclava homologated to FIA 8856-2018. A new yarn composition makes it 15% lighter than the previous Tecnica Evo version, directly reducing bulk under the helmet and improving airflow. OMP developed this model using seamless construction technology, so the balaclava moves with your head without restricting movement or creating pressure points during a session.

The OMP Tecnica Evo MY26 balaclava is available in two sizes - S/M and L/XL - and two colour options: silver and anthracite. This variant is finished in silver.

Design details

The balaclava is finished in a bright, silvery shade with a subtle marl weave typical of high-stretch technical knits. The face opening is oval in shape with a neatly finished elastic edge. On the neck and chin area, the OMP homologation label confirms the current FIA certificate. The OMP logo is placed discreetly at the mouth area in a tone-on-tone finish, giving the balaclava a clean, uniform appearance. The construction is single-piece, with no visible seams across the crown - only ultra-flat side seams mark the panel boundaries.
