What are you using for a neck/face gaiter or neck tube to help riding in the cooler weather? I have had a few, some of them crush my nose, or my goggles get fogged up. I wear a half helmet 95% of the time.
I use one of those versatile headband things with the stretchy back. I use it to cover just my chin and mouth. Part of my neck. And it easy enough to remove when it gets warmer. In colder weather I use that in tandem with the Freeze-Out gator from Cycle Gear. All in all, I cannot cover my nose no matter what. I hope for the best with my glasses. The Extreme anti-fog stuff helps but only lasts a few days.
Since we're discussing cold weather stuff, I also wear a fleece vest or hoodie and Under Armour glove-liners. Short trips are ok. Longer trips might require chaps. If it is one of those cold mornings that warms up quick then I layer so I can stuff some of the clothes in my saddlebag. Rather than wearing the leather jacket, for example, and being tied to that all day.
I have a full beard that covers my cheeks and chin, but when riding in really cold weather, I have a stretchy tube (not sure of brand) or a crotched neck gaiter tube. If it's at or below freezing, then I also have a mask, but I will usually wear a full face helmet instead, since my glasses don't fog as easily that way, with one of these neck gaiter tubes, probably the crotched one. It's thicker and warmer.
I recently picked up a small round disk with crystals in it that swell up and turn to gel when wet, and you can either heat it or cool it before placing it inside the top of the helmet to either heat or cool the top of your head. Haven't had a chance to test it, but I've heard it works well. The cool wraps that tie around your neck can also be heated instead of cooled, so you could try that, too, though I suspect the heat on that would dissipate quickly.
