You got that right Hank.. I have one almost just like that one.  Also, if you can find a neoprene one like this one  Your good to go no matter how cold it gets... well OK at least down to neg 28 (-28) below as i worked outside for 10 hours day's welding with this one and the outher one on.. best $25 i spent for winter head gear. |

Those would definitely be helpful. At the moment the only cold part of my body is my cheeks. I'll definitely have to look into getting a face mask. I'm just concerned when I walk into the bank that they don't think I'm sticking up the place. LOL

I have a balaclava or hood that goes under helmet and coat its great for keeping cold air off my neck . The only bad part is my helmet is so snug that its awkward to put on my eyeglasses since thin wirey frames . Im getting some rec specs . I have it to wear it opens all the way over my face instead of only eyes like a ninja mask , but sometimes it makes it harder to see around the edges . I think a collar or neck and chest thingy would work better for those who wear glasses like me . I did not like a scarf as I had to wrap it so tight to prevent if from flapping .

I too where glasses and my helmet is snug tight like yours. It is Full face and that helps alot when riding the scoot. But when it's snow and ice i keep warm with the too in my frist post to keep dry and warm as i am not going to risk driving when the roads are bad. |

I returned my balaclava and exchanged it for a neck and chest cover . I also got some REAL gloves as ski gloves suck . Was so cold I had to put rubber gloves underneath my old ones . New ones are water and wind proof plus has plastic knuckle cover and sleeve . Was 60 on sale for 25 Hurricane by Bilt . I also bought thermal underpants , like long johns but synthetic fiber thats windproof and water resistant , was 50 on sale for 20 . All three are super sweet on chilly rides . Saw a guy return some overpants and said " I guess I have to go to Kmart and get pantyhose " lol . So I guess there is something to the pantyhose thread . Im glad it does not cold enough here to for those , haha , the Freezeouts are great . I got everything at www.cyclegear.com they hace lots of clothes and accessories most would enjoy as I have . |

I get a laugh out of wearing my balaclava and gloves into a store . I had one guy jump in frontof me trying to do some wack Karate . I told him I have a CWP and a .45 he stopped lol . Most of the time I pull the openingdown to expose my face but most local stores know me so well . I had one clerk say if she did not see my scooter she was about to hit the alarm button lol

Isn't that crazy just how paranoid we as a society have become. A few day ago I read about a man that was shot and killed by police for having his pocket knife out, he was a wood carver by trade and was crossing the street while carving a piece of wood...
I guess nobody asked him anything, obviously the police are in a lot of hot water over this one.. but I remember when a pocket knife was just something every man carried, not now days

I have had a pocket knife in my pocket since the 3rd grade and feel naked without one . I got pulled over once and had a gun lighter , it looks real close to a .25 and the cop freaked out and told the other one I was armed lol . They changed the law here in SC that a lockblade can only be 2.5 inches in your pocket , any larger must be in a sheath or its a concealed weapon .
I had to throw away toe nail clippers when I took a plane for my first time . I guess they thought I would threaten the pilot with a pedicure

Well I like the hoodie ( to get back on topic) it looks warm and practical.. |

No, but the first thing they want to do when they get off the plane is to light up. And they don't want to go searching for a lighter.
