    I've got a Rev'It Tracker balaclava which I really like.

    Thin material under the helmet and thicker wind proof material at the front of the neck. Also reduces wind noise and fogging is far less of an issue, compared to the neoprene face mask it replaced.

Or wear them as a head band if you have really long dreads like mine!

    I have been using it to stop my dreads from dragging and pulling while I'm putting my lid on. Really good, I like them. and just enough to stop the wind hooning down my neck but not too bulky to restrict movement.

    Saw one for about about $30 at one of those flash camping/hiking places recently. But it was for just one.

    Picked up a neck tube off Tme yesterday. Won a $1 auction. Scooterworld in Hamilton are having a clean out. It is a polar fleece material and for a measly buck I can't really lose.

    Another trader has the same tube listed at $27.00.

    Harden up, steal a beanie from a gangsta and cut the top off it. Mint.

    +1 without the theft,

    Had a couple of spare woolen beanies, cut the top out of one and makes a good neck roll, no room under helmet for excess material and no room around neck of jacket for excess material either so no need for a long purpose built thing. Worn it a couple of times when colder but no need in this glorius weather

    I got a free thingy with my Oxford grips - like a neck sock thingy which I put up over the lower half of my face before I put the helmet on. Once it is on, i pull it off my nose so I don't fog up. It is really thin but very effective at keeping that draft out that comes up over your chin and freezes your cheeks and nose. I also have a thick neck sock that I chuck over the top to keep just my neck warm.
    I have tried balaclavas and while they are toasty warm, it is an issue trying to put glasses on while wearing - keep missing my ears!

    I wear a sports balaclava (polyprop) most times I ride ($10 from most sports shops)... a little care when putting sunnies on ... but no real issues ...

    I use a neck warmer thing made of wool .. or my preference is really polar fleece I know you can make them long enough to go down the chest a little bit.

    Yeah, I saw the way you pull yours up before the helmet goes on and thought I would try it, and it is the best way to wear it. Stops your lips getting dry and sore as well.
