Very cold neck

[martlewis]

Hi,

Just looking for advice on what to buy to keep the cold off my neck. Rode to work early this morning, lovely morning but very cold wind once I got going. Not sure wether to get a balaclava, or neck fleece. Will be worn with a full face helmet but as yet don't know how cold it's likely to get inside my helmet in winter. This will be my first winter riding.

I am a huge fan of buffs. They are always useful and come in many designs.

oxford do a cheaper version of the buff, but i don't find them comfortable. they're a bit scratchy and theres not enough stretch in them for them to be comfy around your neck imo

I use a buff in the summer but use a windstopper neck tube for winter, very good and very warm well worth the money.

Fleecy bit at the bottom and wind resistant material at the top. Kept my neck warm all through last winter

I have a large selection of buffs at home (funnily enough, most with Sheep on them) which I wouldn't do without, plus a Polar Buff, which is great.

For really cold weather I use a coldkillers balaclave, has a bib type thing that goes inside ya jacket. Works a treat. Otherewise I use a standard fleece buff thingymajig
