For those of you who haven't used a balaclava, they are good for some 
things that may not be readily apparent.
1) I have used one made of silk, and it makes a slightly loose helmet 
fit better. Of course, one made of a thicker material would make a 
looser helmet fit better.
2) It's easier to wash a balaclava than the inside of a helmet.
3) I'm an amateur radio operator, and I sometimes want to use an 
earbud/throat mike combo with an amateur radio transceiver. A balaclava 
helps keep those items in place while donning the helmet, and while 
wearing it.
4) A balaclava will help deaden wind noise somewhat.
