    Chin warm?

    How does one keep there neck/double chin warm at night/morning.

    Being that start work at 5am, its quite a cold ride to work and my neck/double chin gets freezing cold.

    Anyone know of something to wear too keep said double chin warm?

    Also riding home from my night job on the weekends ensues in teh cold neck aswell.

    I have a thin wool scarf that I wrap around my neck and tuck down the front of my jacket, it tucks up under my ears in the helmet and goes under the chin strap, cuts out all the cold and I can pull it up over my nose if I want to.

    Put your jacket on backwards. But if you do, make sure that you never lose consciousness if you come off you bike while still wearing your helmet...

    I have a "snood" which I bought at a local bike shop. It is a knitted tube, which keeps my neck warm, can also be tucked up under my helmet and cover my nose if necessary.
    A twin pack cost about $25 bucks from memory.

    Eat lots of pies, the third chin will keep the double chin warm which will keep your first chin and neck warm

    Grow a beard. A decent one not something that looks like shaved womens pubes.

    Or follow Dangerousbastards example and flog a sleeve from a jersey at an op shop.

    A snood you say. At a bike shop you say.

    Next time I might have a look in a bike shop first before looking a numpty and posting a new thread.

    instead of spending $25 for 2, hit your local thrift shop and buy a few skivvies. i buy those and cut the necks out [leaving a flap on both sides about a handswidth long to help keep chest and back warm] you might have to hem them depending on the material, but none of mine have needed that.
    ive got 4 or 5 and wear one all the time in winter. can go under chinstrap and up over the nose easily.

    Kathmandu Easter sale, they have a "Neck Gaitor" tube thingy that is REALLY warm http://www.kathmandu.co.nz/Mens/Acce...ck_Gaiter.html . Now that I looked that up I didint think mine was that expensive I thought it was less than $10 but then it wouldn't be the first time today I have been wrong .

    Yeah, I have a neck gaiter from an outdoors stoor. Can't remember if it was kathamandu, r&r sports or pack'n'pedal, but they all have them. I spent about $10 - $15, and it's friggin' brilliant.
