Buy a Balacalava in Dublin City Centre Today?

Hi!

Does anyone know where in Dublin City Centre I'd pick up a balacalava today? I was nice and toasty on the way in except for my cheeks which got pelted out of it by the hail stones. I don't feel like putting up with that again on the way home. I'll be passing through town coming home so I can stop off anywhere. Cycleways is actually nice and handy for me, I'd normally stop in there, but I don't see any on their website

Thanks for any help!

Great Outdoors would have something. The problem of putting a balaclava under a climbing helmet is pretty similar to that of putting one under a cycling helmet.

what's that place near the intersection of henry street and capal street? has camping gear and that. I'd say you'd get one in there.

Get a Ice Breaker Merino one at Great outdoors! or just get yourself a Buff, you can do it up like a balaclava.

Millets, I think.

Go there or any of the outdoor stores on Capel/Mary/Liffey Street. Cycling shops and great Outdoors will just fleece you for something you'll rarely use

Probably a stoopid question, but how do you do a buff up like a balaclava? Either your head is warm or your neck, but not both, no?
