This fits find in the helmet and is ok, especially for my cheeks, but my head gets pretty cold in freezing temperatures. What solutions are you using in this cold weather along with your heavily vented helmet?
I don't mean to sound harsh, but how could you possibly expect this to keep your head warm when the entire front part of your head is exposed?
No new solution to this is needed. Simply buy a balaclava in whatever weight you need - from paper thin to fairly thick. If you don't need a balaclava to keep your neck warm, just buy a simple beanie cap, again available from very thin to nice warm fleece. I usually wear a simple ear band over my nose and mouth if it's needed, but there are a bunch of readily available solutions for that too.
If you need more wind proofing for the helmet, buy a helmet cover.
