Just a black fleece tube for me....only when it's cold though. I couldn't see me wearing any type of mask in the summer. Unless of course there's heavy dust or ';m being bombarded with bugs.

I'll use my micro fiber Zub I keep around my neck. Pull it up around my face when temps drop. Put it around my forehead as a bandana to protect me from the sun when they climb.

If it really cold I pull out a neoprene plain black face mask that you can find at outdoor stores.

Besides protection against bugs/rain/cold, some people wear them to protect their identity.

I was out riding the other day and the temps dropped to about 30. I stopped in at Dollar General looking for a ski mask but found a Gaitor for $1. It worked great. It looks like the collar of a turtle neck but taller.

Picked up a black wool ski mask/bank robber deal (not sure what they are called) for a couple buck a few years back. Keep it in my saddlebag for when it gets cold and or rain/hails. Also got a black wool neck deal I wear with a wool beanie if it is only somewhat cold. If I ever come across another one (1 of each) I'll grab it so I can keep one with the Dyna seeing how the hail only seems to come along when I'm on that scoot and the ski mask is warm in toasty in the garage with the Street Glide.

Hi Bruce.
I mfg and sell floorboard extensions. I give away a skull bandana as a promotional item when a customer buys a kit from me. Since you don't have floorboards and will probably never buy from me I'd be happy to send you one for free. Just PM me your address and I'll get one off to you.
Tom
