Hey, if you all know any knitters - there are plenty of neck cowls out there that can be knit very very easily! Wool, alpaca, merino, silk, cashmere - sky's the limit!

Re: [RBW] Re: Keeping your neck warm
A wicking material buff is surprisingly good at keeping you warm. Look here for lightweight, thin material. http://buffusa.com/sports/collections/filter/biking On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 5:33 PM, Michael wrote: > 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 > rain jacket as a windbreaker. > That is good to 29F so far this year.

Re: [RBW] Re: Keeping your neck warm
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 otherwise unusable turtleneck? -Pete in CT (where it was neck gaiter weather this morning!)

Re: [RBW] Re: Keeping your neck warm
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.
