 Poster: A snowHead
|
Trying to see what are people's preferred method of keeping the neck and face warm out on the slopes; then looking if there's any kind of common favourites.
So far I've had recommendations from airhole - to under armour - to making your own out of fleece material.
What's your favourite?

Unless it is bone/sinus achingly cold i.e. well down into the minus double digits, then a polar buff....if it is that cold, neoprene mask or the nearest bar with fireplace

Fleecey necktube to keep the neck and maybe under the chin warm, but other than that, I just do without. Then again, I get quite claustrophobic if something is close around my face or throat.. which is weird as I have no problems with my helmets when motorcycling.

if its very cold just a neck buff.... if its very very cold - and the slopes will be fairly empty at this point anyway - then i use an under armour balaclava under a lid of course. It is the only one that ihave found which is made up of 2 pieces of material. 1 that forms the neck part and another that is the head part...  still with me? well here is the important bit - it is very easy to pull down the face part and leave it as a neck warmer but the leaves the hat part on...i looked into balaclavas before i went to the states last year and i didnt find any other type that was as good as this..most balaclavas are made from one piece of material. other advantage of under armour is that it is not made of wool so will not retain any moisture, particularly around the mouth face area. was £18 last year.
