Zan Headgear

Wind, sun, bugs and cold don't care how good your helmet is. Zan Headgear fills the gaps with balaclavas, Flydanna® head wraps, bandannas and neoprene face masks built for riders who spend real hours in the saddle.

At Witchdoctors, we carry ZANheadgear for motorcycle, UTV, ATV and snowmobile riders, plus anyone who works or plays outdoors. Pick your coverage, pick your style and ride more comfortably in any season.

Why Riders Choose Zan Headgear

Zan Headgear is a San Diego-based brand focused on head, face and neck protection. Its gear is cut to sit flat under a helmet, so you get coverage without pressure points or bunching.

  • Helmet-friendly fit: flat or strategically placed seams avoid hot spots under a lid.
  • Sun protection: select styles, like the Flydanna UV head wrap, provide 50+ UV protection.
  • Wind and cold defense: fleece-lined neoprene masks block wind chill on early-morning and late-season rides.
  • Dust and debris control: cover your nose and mouth on dirt roads, trails and job sites.
  • Bold graphics: flags, skulls, paisley and solid colors to match your ride.
  • Easy care: most pieces are lightweight and machine washable.

  • Smooth seams sit flat under any helmet
  • Contoured shape cuts down on bunching at the neck

Flydanna® Head Wraps

The Flydanna is a bandanna sewn into a fitted head wrap, so it stays put without knots. Wear it alone or as a thin helmet liner to soak up sweat and protect your scalp from sun.

  • Keeps you cooler in summer and adds a layer of warmth in winter

Zan Bandannas

The classic. Zan bandannas are pre-washed, medium-weight cotton with rolled, sewn edges that hold up to repeated washing. Tie one over your face for dust, around your neck for sun, or on your head under a helmet.

Neoprene Face Masks

Neoprene blocks wind better than fabric, and a fleece lining keeps it soft against your skin. Half masks cover the nose, mouth and cheeks; full masks wrap the whole face for sub-freezing rides and snowmobiling.

  • Reversible designs flip from a graphic to solid black
  • Fleece lining adds warmth and comfort
  • Pairs well with a balaclava or neck gaiter for maximum coverage

Neodanna® Masks

The Neodanna joins a neoprene face mask with a cotton bandanna. You get the wind protection of neoprene with the look and neck coverage of a classic bandanna.

Motley Tubes® and Neck Gaiters

A Motley Tube is a seamless tube of fabric you can wear as a neck gaiter, face mask, headband, skull cap and more. It's the most versatile piece in the Zan lineup and a smart pick for changing weather.

How to Choose the Right Zan Headgear

  1. Riding in the cold? Start with a balaclava, then add a neoprene mask below about 40°F.
  2. Riding in the heat? A Flydanna or bandanna absorbs sweat and shields your scalp and neck from sun.
  3. Dusty trails or gravel roads? A bandanna or Motley Tube over your nose and mouth keeps grit out.
  4. Wearing a tight helmet? Choose thin, flat-seam pieces like the stretch Flydanna or polyester balaclava.
  5. Want one piece for everything? A Motley Tube converts between a gaiter, mask and head wrap.

Zan Headgear FAQs

Is Zan Headgear good for motorcycle riding?

Yes. Zan designs its balaclavas, head wraps and masks with flat or carefully placed seams so they fit comfortably under a helmet, and it offers styles for both hot and cold weather.

What is a Flydanna?

A Flydanna is a bandanna pre-sewn into a fitted head wrap. It stays on without tying a knot on top, so it works well alone or as a thin helmet liner.

Does Zan Headgear offer UV protection?

Select Zan styles, such as the stretch Flydanna head wrap, provide 50+ UV protection. Check each product page for its specific rating.

Can I wear a Zan balaclava under my helmet?

Yes. Zan balaclavas use stretchy fabric and smooth seams to reduce pressure points and bunching under a helmet.

What is the difference between a balaclava and a neck gaiter?

A balaclava covers your head, face and neck in one fitted piece. A neck gaiter, like a Motley Tube, is an open tube you can pull up over your face or wear several other ways.

Are neoprene face masks warm?

Yes. Neoprene blocks wind, and Zan adds a fleece lining for warmth and comfort. They are best for cold rides; in warm weather a cotton bandanna or Flydanna breathes better.

How do I wash Zan Headgear?

Most Zan cotton and polyester pieces are machine washable. Follow the care label on your item, and air dry neoprene masks to help them keep their shape.

What size Zan Headgear do I need?

Most Zan pieces are one size fits most, thanks to stretch fabric or adjustable ties. Bandannas measure 22" x 22".
