Every now and then somebody designs a product that changes the way you ride your bike forever. You wonder why you never had this garment before...

For years we have had to compromise with regards to cycling head wear in cold weather: Either your head is too cold or too warm. Or your ears are cold. Or the wind burns your face. Or your neck warmer restricts movement and stops your neck from moving when you are on the drops. We have created the solution:

We designed the new Spatz HEATR' HEAD WARMER to work in unison with a modern cycle helmet. The brief was to create the perfect winter head garment whether you are commuting, exploring or smashing the group on a January training ride. The head band area is warm, comfortable and wicking. It will sit unnoticed under your helmet, keeping you warm and does not affect your hearing. The head area is specifically designed as a band and not a hat so if you get too warm, you can simply pull it down to create a neck warmer without removing your helmet.

The seamless fabric is extremely stretchy so you can wear it covering your mouth and nose (with just your eyes exposed), just over your mouth (with eyes and nose exposed), over your chin (keeping your mouth uncovered) or down under your chin (exposing your whole face) whilst still keeping your ears toasty.

The neck area is thin at the rear to minimise bunching and keep neck movement free. The neck area is longer and warmer at the front to stop the cold wind from passing under your collar. The mouth and nose area is thinner and more permeable to allow easy breathing and quick drying.

The HEATR Head Warmer can be worn as:

  • A full head warmer with only the eye area open to the cold

  • A head warmer with eyes and nose exposed to the cold

  • A head warmer with eyes, nose and mouth exposed but chin covered

  • A head warmer with the full face exposed (but ears protected)

  • A neck warmer

  • A head band

The HEATR head warmer is manufactured with seamless technology, meaning that there are no seams around the circumference of the garment to cause pressure points from your helmet or glasses. It is manufactured as a seamless tube. We have been able to engineer each panel to perform a specific function without the need for any seams between. Each panel has a specific weave, texture, and thickness to offer qualities such as warmth, support, articulation, and moisture transport.

Using seamless manufacture means that we can sculpt garments that hug your contours beautifully without unnecessary compression or bulky zippers. Your head, face and neck will be kept warm and comfortable as you battle through the elements.

This is a garment that has to be seen and used to be believed.

Head warmer

Great piece of kit, well designed for multiple options on how to wear this depending on conditions.

Warm and well made but….

Really well made piece of kit - as usual with Spatz- but have struggled keeping the head band in place under a helmet. It slides downwards until covering my eyes. I use a Kask Protone helmet that has pads on the brow section so there should be some friction to keep the headband in place. Haven’t seen this mentioned by other reviewers so maybe it’s user error. With the headband pulled down it keeps the neck and chin areas nice and warm so it’s not a complete waste of money

Simple design but so effective…. Spatzwear do everything right !

One stays warm but also loads of ventilation….a theme that runs through all of Spatzwear gear

Seems pretty good in theory, although I've not used it yet.

Seems pretty good in theory, although I've not used it yet. If I saw it in a shop I'd think twice about spending £40 on it. Feels more like a £25 product.
