Cold Weather Riding
It is still August, but the cooler New England mornings have me thinking. I bought the bike back in April and the morning temps were just over 30 degrees. I tried to wear a face mask, then a bandana to protect my face, but my sunglasses fogged up with every exhale so I never made it out of the driveway. Does anyone have any advice to prevent this?

There are breath deflectors that work pretty well. Lots of different styles.
If it's going to be cold all day I wear a modular full face. If it's only cold in the morning I use a breath deflector until it warms up.

Neck gaiter with either a 3/4 or FF. Pull the gaiter up over your nose (and up to your ears) and raise the visor at stops, slow spots etc. to prevent fogging.
Other tips:
Long johns
Flannel lined jeans
A good pair of leather gauntlets
Layered t-shirts and sweatshirts under leather
You might even want to invest in heated gear up where you are..

To prevent fogging when wearing a mask, just pull it below your nose when stopped. When you start moving adjust it back up.
