I have one of those balaclavas that feel like those Under Armour Heat Gear shirts which are pretty thin but manage to keep the wind off and heat in. The good thing about mine is that it keeps my neck warm, not a hard fit into my helmet and it keeps my breath from fogging up the visor.Skier wrote:I've found a neck warmer is best. If you get a balaclava thick enough to stop the wind ripping heat off your neck, it will be uncomfortable under your helmet. A neck warmer won't add insulation to your noggin but you lose more heat through your exposed neck than a head insulated by the same foam used in coolers.vladmech wrote:Does anyone have a recommendation for some sort of helmet liner for along the bottom? I'm pretty much fine in the cold weather except a lot of wind is along my neck and coming up into my helmet. A friend recommended a thin face mask, but if there's something I could wear at just the neck level I think that might be more comfortable.

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.
