Just take care of your skin with a greasy sunblock or else and you will be fine. Wear a helmet and goggles.

never really needed it here in Colorado but this is the shiz:

Keeps the warm air in, doesn't get all wet and nasty.

I don't like this for several reasons: it's not comfortable, I don't like greasy skin, and my skin is still cold.

I'll admit, the added evil is nice bonus. :)

What sort of temperatures do you ride in where you are fine with this setup? Europeans' idea of what is cold and North Americans' idea are somewhat different.

Personally I ride with a POC receptor hemet crowbar goggles a buff (like the ones on survivor) and my jacket zipped all the way up and I am fine. I have ridden this way in -35 degree Fahrenheit in Maine.

I think you are right. The lowest temp I was in, was -18 degrees Celsius with 2,5 beaufort windspeed. Average is between -4 / -12 celsius what I normally ride. I think you guys have lower temps.

Picked up one of these the other day in Destin, FL at a UA outlet store.

I think us over here in the states have days that are colder than what you guys have but, I think Europe (Zermatt in particular) has a more of a consistent low temperature. I was over in Zermatt for the thanksgiving vacation and I was colder (the whole time I was out there) than I am here in New England in December.

Kittens are softer - they make good toilet paper, too.[/QUOTe]

Grow a beard, let it ice over.

I also use a plain jane wool scarf- variable wrap, modular fit and excellent breathablity. Is that techy enough for a scarf?

Just picked up one of these. Not usually cold enough to need one here in socal, but every once in a blue moon it can be quite chilly and windy. I never liked the clamy feeling of the neoprene masks, and this seems like a great compromise. At least I hope so. Will post a report when I finally get to try it out.

for post #30

That was worth the weight.

Hey Zoltan

Looking out my window

I must ask

Does it have a snorkel attachment?

:)

well up here in the great white north, when you have to bare -25 or more for the best powder days. I where a a neck warmer, the tight elastic ones that stay up good. Sometimes i have to change it at lunch for a dry one.

In Banff where I normally ride it is typically around -10 or -15, but I have seen it as cold as -35. Once it starts pushing towards -30 it's just not that fun IMO.
