Heavier weight material like that in the Serius will not conform as well to your face as a lighter fleece or polypro fabric that has elastic lined openings. I think the Serius would likely work well if you are using goggles, but I can't imagine the conditions in which I would want to be riding with that over my head anyway. I use a windproof neck gaiter with mesh at the nose and mouth when it is really cold. The gaiter pairs well with a lighter watch cap style hat under my helmet.
