Neck warming, fin.

[PATRICK MOORE]

Just now: 54*F, cross wind gusting to 17, Wabi Woolens ls jersey as
single layer, 1/4 (cut lengthways, then each section sectioned again)
Pendleton Clan Boyd scarf wrapped 1 1/4 times about neck under collar
kept sensitive neck very comfortable. Best at about 6" wide and 24"
long -- mine a wee bit short for optimum ease of use, but once you get
it in place it seems to work.

Yesterday I tried the 6" section of lower lycra tight -- relatively
lightweight: not nearly as good.

After two aborted payment attempts, the silk mock turtleneck dickies
are on the way -- "4-to-8-business-days".

Next week: 30% chance of snow mid week nights; fleece gaiters are waiting.

Glad it worked for you.  Today, I ended up doing 25 or so miles (not on a Riv)  with temperatures around 30 to 35F.  MUSA long pants, thin wool long sleeve top under a Hincapie wool jacket and the plastic thing on the head with no covering of vents.  Oh, and Capo long finger gloves.  Was just about right. 

 

Tomorrow will be a chicken and stay inside if we get the predicted 6 to 8 inches of snow.

Hmm, my GMail must have burped, this only showed up today.  Looks like Gore no longer makes the gloves I have.  Look closest to the Universal model, but these are padded in the palm and more knit material on the back.  Not totally windproof, but good to a touch below 30.  Then will use the MUSA halfmitts, and below that, heavier gloves.

 

Sorry I couldn't be more help.  Haven't been on the bike in the last few days as the roads are pretty much rutted ice right now.

DAY-umm!

My pony tail *does* keep the back of my neck warm.

Wool zip-T? Single layer, double-layer, open, partly zipped, all-zipped. It does work, and it comes with sleeves!
