It's not as thick as my hat so my head/ears get cold. Obviously there's no solution to #3 (besides buying a thicker one or wearing another hat over it). Anyone got a solution to #1 and #2 besides not wearing it over my mouth?
I cut a hole the size of a nickel or quarter in mine for my mouth. I had the same problems before that.
Blow straight out when you exhale- this helps at stops too. I also wear ski goggles, and they have not fogged down to -3F so far. I wear an extra skull cap from Under Armor (sp?) that I got for Christmas. It seems to help keep my head warmer.
I did not ride in today, as I was running late.
