Dickies have all that extra that will be too hot ... lol. Myself, I'd cut of the bottom parts and just use the turtleneck. Or go buy a cheap turtleneck at discount retailer and carefully cut of the turtleneck, leaving the finished seam on the bottom so it doesn't fall apart. I've made my

Thanks, all -- some good products but too bulky for what I want. But you've given me some ideas. I tried the Riv wool neck gaiter -- not sure if it was the Possum one -- and didn't like it -- it chafed, so I went to fleece. But again, too bulky for ~50F. Will report. On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at

I have a fleece neck gaiter from lands end (one of those things you buy to get over the free shipping threshold) that is great below 32 deg, but too warm above that. How about a section of the thigh cut from otherwise worn out wool leggings, or, for that matter, a neck salvaged from a

Below 40F, I use a Balaklava, which covers the whole neck and head. It is amazing that a piece of material so thin can keep the wind off me. Normally, I just zip up my LLBean rain jacket higher if it is 40F or higher. I usually wear a long johns shirt, another shirt over that, and then the

+1 on the Buff. You can pull it up to cover your face, if it's really cold. No bulk; no chafing. On Friday, November 30, 2012 3:09:00 PM UTC-5, Kevin Mulcahy wrote: Try a merino wool Buff. We've got a couple in our household and frequently give them as gifts.
