Hello Everyone,
Anyone suggest a cold face mask that limits the 'dryness' and
'coldness' of the air you breath? Something that doesn't create much
resistance.
thx,

I always hate having my mouth and nose covered. I tried a neoprene mask
once but it got all wet and then iced up with condensation from my breath.
I just use a neck gaiter, hat, sometimes a hood, goggles, and the collar
of my jacket. That covers everything but my nose and mouth and works
pretty well for me down to about -15 0r -20 F. Any colder than that and
I just try not to be outside very long.

I'm with you on the neoprene mask. I don't feel that I can breathe well
through them. Makes me a bit claustrophobic, too....
I use a cheapo neck gaiter. It's a thin, loosely-woven poly material
that hangs off my nose and doesn't make contact with my mouth unless
I'm riding into a wind. I'm able to breathe without feeling like I'm
sucking air through a filter, and it keeps enough of the wind off. It
will get damp and weighty after a while, though.
Fullface helmet work decently too....
