Alright, stupid question, but, i want to know an answer. Question is, do ya'll have anything you use to keep your chin/upper throat area warm while riding in cold weather? By the time i get to work in the mornings, my chin's numb. I wear a Shoei TZ1. I plan on picking up one of the things that stops you from fogging up the windscreen. I just can't find anything on something to keep my chin warm. And, before ya'll start, yes, i know, i live in FL, but, when you're riding 30 minutes to work in the morning and it's 50 degrees, chin gets cold. So, please don't bash. If ya can 'help me, please, by all means, do.

Yep something similar to this...................
I use an army surplus neck tube does the job well cost me £2.

 

What Anubis said , it's called a Balaclava

 

I'd rather use the girl to stay warm. Talk about warming your upper chin!!! Oops, damn, did I just say that?

 

I picked one up a dicks sporting goods (balaclava). Thin spandex like material around the head, fleece around the neck. Its long enough to tuck into your riding jacket. I love it. I rode into work (25miles) and it was 32 degrees this morning.

 

Neofleece face mask... works great and doesn't interfere with the helmet fit. Cost about $15.

Thanks all. I think I like Don's choice best. Most practical for me being in FL. I won't be using it all the time. Looks like i'm makin a trip to sports authority afterwork today.

Personally, Tylor, I have bought a couple of different kinds mentioned here. The Neofleece that don mentioned and the turtle neck tube that anubis mentioned. Between the two, I really like the neck tube. I find that the neofleece ends up getting uncomfortable around the back of the neck, under the helmet where it attaches together, and it tends to get pretty hot. I live in the panhandle of Florida, and the times that I venture out riding in "less than favorable" riding conditions, the neck tube seems to work great. They are alot less expensive too.

 

doh! I didn't even think of the velcro or whatever it is that holds it together. Looks like i'm headed to the neck tube store. Which is, um, i don't know.

Edit: I went on ebay and found some. I personally like this guys selling style. Makes me want one

The one I bought comes in different sizes and mine fits great. I don't even notice it's on while I'm ridging and I've used it on a group ride for about 5 hours. It also has holes for you nose and mouth so you can breathe, which I really like. Just go try them on and see which one you like.
