• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Guys & Gals, We are starting to get some pretty cold mornings/days around here in Springfield, MO and I need something to keep the cold air from going down my neck and freezing me....what works well and best place to buy them....? Maybe something that could be pulled up over my mouth and nose possibly.....
Thank you.....
 
Go to any motorcycle store and you will find racks and racks of them.

It sounds like you wear open face helmets. In that case I suggest looking at balaclavas but the helmet fit issue arises. I actually wear a Pearl Izumi bicycling cap and a Turtle Fur neck warmer that fits well with my modular helmet and keeps the wind out both front and back and is good down to low 30s ambient temperature. If it's not too cold for you a doubled over neck warmer may do the trick until it gets very cold. IMO there's no need to spend extra bucks at a motorcycle shop when REI has just about anything you will need to stay warm at very reasonable prices. YMMV.
 
A good quality balaclava from any power sports store. Most common for snowmobiling. They come in some awesome materials these days. Similar to Under Armor, and other moisture wicking.
 
Suggest you look at Aerostich, triangular neck warmer. Forget the accurate name. Have several, work a treat.

I got a warm neck cover thingy from a outdoor store, and I sometimes combine that with a stretchy thingy I bought at the motorcycle show (WHEN THEY STILL CAME TO MICHIGAN). It can get rather chilly here......

Of course you can just make your own, if you have a quilter in the family:helpsmilie:
I got some heavy duty acrylic material, just make sure it is long enough. It was only a few buxs, my only complaint is that it can get very hot :) inside!
 
I rode to work this morning and used my snowmobile balaclava.....no wind down my neck and stayed toasty....except my hands, but that's another story (and forum post). :p
 
big scarf works like a charm :thumbup:
