*** THERMAL NECK WARMERS***

**White trash** · 15th June 2005, 16:59

Had a good look at Mitchs neck warmer thingymebob last night.

Seems very well made and an absolute bargain.

(Ready to trade that GSXR yet S41?)

Can these be used to disguise your face when conducting terrorist activities??

**s41** · 15th June 2005, 19:04

You can use them for whatever you want. We have sold these to all sorts of people doing all sorts of different things. Obviously we designed these for the motorcyclist but have sold them to skiers, cyclists, walkers, farmers, news paper delivery staff, and even a lady who races sleds pulled by huskies.
If you want to rob a bank with them, personally i don't give a toss, but would rather our product was put to better use.
Remember these are selling on trademe for $28 incl postage, but to kiwibiker members $23 incl postage!!!

Hey dude, I did a buy now on one of those thermal auctions, can i get it for the kiwibiker price of $23 including postage, cheers, I have already emailed you stating the auction number and my address

Would love to wear one on my police bike but think I would get too many complaints from the customers... been a bit chilly the last few mornings!

Aren't you always going to get complaints???

And who cares what they might think.

Just give them a stunning smile. Like me behind the breath guard. Then you remember there is no way they'll ever see it.

Would still be good as a neck warmer, just dont have it pulled over your face. Or you call always just pull it off your face when you're about to dish out the bash to someone.

It was moved. Was originally in general biker ravings.

I have two (2) questions, for anyone who has one of these fancy neck warmers, or who knows stuff:

I have a helmet that's snug. Will it pull the neck warmer down when I put the helmet on over it?
Does the neck warmer inhibit head movement at all?

1) I found that it pulled the back down a little, but it was still just under my ears, which is the area I need covered.
2) minimal. If you want to check out mine, am in the Glenfield area. PM me.

Thanx, D.
I'm actually being a wuss, as I have only minimal cold spots: chin gets slightly coldish, and there's a gap of less than a centimetre between helmet and collar at the back. I've also just found (by shutting visor and vents) that the air from the helmet's vents is exhausted into this gap, via an exhaust vent at the rear of the helmet. Good in summer, but chilly in winter.

Ahh, go for it anyway, its a bargain.
I dont have too much of a cold spot, but this thing sorts it out just the shiz.
With the leathers though I end up with quite a gap around the helmet due to lower neck line, Havent tried it yet, but im sure it'll be very helpfull.

Yeah, I'd already figured that. There's a couple of alternatives on the market, but (a) this is NZ made, and (b) it's a bargain, as you said.

When I used to wear a leather 'touring jacket', I used to wear a polar-fleece neckwarmer, for just this reason. It was good(ish), but too bulky, so it restricted head movement significantly.
My current jacket has a high collar, and a removable neck-warmer, but there's just that aforementioned small gap.

PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY. SOME PEOPLE ARE BUYING THESE THROUGH THE AUCTION PROCESS ON TRADEME AND THEN E-MAILING ME EXPECTING THE NECK WARMERS FOR $23. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU PUSH 'BUY NOW' ON THE TRADEME SITE YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO PAY $28 INCL POSTAGE. iF YOU WANT THEM FOR $23 E-MAIL ME DIRECT AS STATED QUITE CLEARLY IN PREVIOUS POSTS.
