Wear a balclava, folks. It can literally save your life.

I've already come across three posts on this sub about people getting cuts and injuries due to chinese manjha (kite strings). Last year, an army personnel died in Hyderabad after a string cut his neck and he bled out.

I will suggest that till kite season is over, we all wear a balaclava. It covers a large part of our necks and is resistant to wear and tear to a great degree. It might give us an added layer of protection against these kite strings. I don't want to lose any of the amazing folks here. So, please wear a balaclava. You might even start wearing full-time when riding.

I personally use one from Proberos and one from Tiivra. There are good options available on Amazon. I've also pasted the link to the ones mentioned.
