My helmet is super warm. I wear a Buffs bandanna for my face and neck. On exceptionally cold days, I wear a smartwool balaclava under my helmet because it's so thin - but I inevitably get the face part all wet, and then as soon as I go indoors, game over.
Well, then, you can imagine my head/face covering wardrobe. Some years, the full head fleece balaclava does not get shed until calendar turns to April. And even beyond, some years.Unless I'm skiing Sugarloaf, lol.
Yes, thanks… that is a great idea as sometimes I just like my neck covered, but it's not freezing cold.A silk balaclava is another great option to add warmth without bulk. Easy to stick in a pocket and takes up very little room.
Totally agree and it doesn't stink as much. Neoprene I think would be my last option for using under a ski helmet - it takes forever to dry out, holds odor like no other and you have to handwash it. I would definately go crazy having neoprene around my neck with a helmet strap all day too.I prefer wool, partly because it's less bulky, and also because it doesn't get as nasty as fleece when it's cold and wet. (And it dries much faster under a heater in the restroom!)
