Grew up using them as a skier and still have them. After wearing them for several hours in real cold, they get nice, frozen snotcicles if you have them pulled up over your nose . But seriously I love them and wear them in winter. I don't recall wearing them while on the bike. I have a partial facemask for that and will perhaps buy a balaclava this year, if only so I can wear it when I stop off at the bank to make a deposit.
