Default Face covers for winter riding?

Wondering what yall use on your face for very low temp riding?

I currently use this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maxit-Headga...item589937854f

works perfect, tho i wonder if i can find one that wraps around, rather than goes over my head.

i know there are many out there, just wondering what yall have tried and love.

thank you

Warm weather = 3/4 helmet
Cold weather = full face helmet

Hi,

I use thin merino wool balaclava, like it as it just goes around neck when you take helmet off and go into shop or whatever and alright for bugs,

Also goggles sit well on it and seal well so no teary eyes

i have a double layer one for when it gets much colder

Use a shoei platinum 3/4 helmet
Thanks
Mirrmu

Full face helmet or a balaclava with a half helmet.

I use a bandanna that I put two squares of felt in, folded diagonally and sewed shut.

Batwing fairing + FF helmet...

JK, I have a couple of snowmobile facemasks for real cold days & a neck warmer for luke-cold days. I say, as long as you're not wearing the gay Wild Hog skull bandanna over your face - good to go.
