http://www.dustbandit.com/default.aspx? makes bandanas with a fleece lining for warmth or without just for dust.

I use the fleece lined ones on cold mornings with a thin fleece HD beenie cap.

I have a couple of neoprene masks, but found a fleece gaiter to be better, IMO. It keeps your neck warm. You can easily pull it up over the top of your nose.

same here i hate when it fogs up at stop lights. I also rock the full face in the morning and then turtle shell it home after. I got a leather mask my buddies dad made me and it's the ***** but it makes me fog up too.

I rode all winter without a windshield and wore a skid lid. My face and neck stayed nice and warm by wearing a neoprene mask and a fleece neck warmer. They are so cheap hell yea they are worth it.

They are worth it, but they will fog up. Make sure the one you get has good air holes at the nose and mouth and breath thru the mouth at stops. Carry two, both skulls that have a lower piece that goes down the jacket so air does not get in. If ya worry about the fogging there are several products out there for the glasses that will help that! Throw them in the bags never know when Ya need one!

I have one that I occasionally use under just the circumstances you mentioned. I have just a black one, picked it up at a local indy shop, I think it was about $4.00
