Can anyone recommend a decent balaclava for under my helmet, i want something that keeps my head warm but also slippy so my helmet slips on easy.

Any suggestions welcome

Have you looked at the UnderArmor ColdGear? I don't have the hood, but I have the pants and they work great in the cold.
It seems like a good bet to fit under a helmet (thin stuff), and I know the material would keep you warm.

The welcome crew covers all the bases quickly Do take your time when getting to know your 600! If your starting on 250's (like I did), the difference is going to be HUGE! Throttle control will save your life! As far as Baclava's go, I got one at REI for winter Running, it's made of Wool, but is super breathable, and it was like 10 bux....First 20 degree ride to work in the AM it was a Lifesaver!

Cheers, i have to pass the tests on a 500cc bike so hopefully shouldnt be too much of a big difference when i get on my 600, ill take it easy anyway tho.
