I'll let you know how they work out. Now all I have to do is keep my neck from getting cold...

I use one of these:

Just make sure the balaclava ain't too thick . The cheaper fleece ones don't do so well under a FF helmet . There are thinner ones (silk ) that supposedly work better . I keep mine rolled down around my neck only , not over my whole head .

For those with more time than money . I ain't never tried to make my own , though . I do ok just layering up well after spending MANY hours learning what works and what don't .
Good :
Windbreaking layer on top , neck protection of ANY kind helps tremendously be it balaclava , scarf (flaps and comes undone , though ) , or bandana , stout gloves (good thick leather works wonders) , wool socks , long johns .
Bad :
Any regular winter glove (will slip RIGHT off and is too bulky to work controls well) , ANY exposed skin , and not using most of the stuff above .

Got the balaclava, and it works great!



Now all I have to do is wait for the heated gloves and liner.
