Thermal neck warmers?

I purchased an Oxford Chill Out Necktube for $40 from a dealer. Expensive but it works bloody mint.

I got a polar fleece tube thing at the field days, that ame with instructions on how to fold it various ways. Wore it on a good ride yesterday and seemed to work well. Considering getting an icebreaker merino balaclava.

I have a silk balaclava but I don't wear it - prefer the neck roll instead. I found that wearing the balaclave, despite it being pretty thin, compressed the pads in the helmet to the point that it felt loose when summer came back and I stopped wearing the balaclava. So I stick with the neckroll.

I cut a sleeve of a jersey and use it as a neckwarmer works great neck now warm as toast left arm not so warm anymore

oh now that is a clever idea.
bling for being clever and don't worry about the arm. it will be fine.

are these things that much better than a scarf? It just seems most of these things are rather thin.
I've been using my scarf these last cold days, and it seems to work.. although it gets quite think around the neck.

I'd really consider balaclavas, I'm on my third.

Rev'it have a good range, lycra on top so they don't affect helmet size too much, then wind stop fabric for front, or front and rear. Or you can get one that goes over the top of your jacket (instead of inside). Saves messing around with things around your neck etc.

Fogg Off Face Mask. I have one and it works. http://www.motomail.co.nz/eStore/Style/FOFACE.aspx

Had one of these for awhile then switched to a light weight Oxford balaclava for summer & use a strada balaclava over winter, the common issue I had was when putting on it would slip down & move around & as I use Plugz for Lugz ear plugs these would pop out as well, no problems since moving to a balaclava

(i hope the link works)
Has anyone tried these?

These are fantastic. Well made, nice material.
I've had mine for years (these guys have been making and selling them on TM for a very long time). Still going strong.
Highly recommend.

I also have balaclava's n stuff, but the neck warmer gets the most used. If it's mega cold i'll have the balaclava AND the neck warmer on.

I have purchased one similar to the one shown above, and it works very well. I like the deep neckline of it as it also stops the wind going through my zip onto my chest.

Thankyou.
