LOL!

I tried and tried to think of something to take a pic of, Agent Bob. Ever since you told me there wasn't anything to take a pic of in this weather. :D

That's my Fuzzy Neckwarmer, of course! ;D

I posted that just for you, Agent Bob. ;)

works great its mostly for your neck to stop the cold from comeing up in to the helmet.the reason for the black part is so it dont come down on you to far helps to hold it in place.

The ski mask is nice to have, but try to get the thinnest one you can.  I also recommend a Fog City face shield insert to keep fog at bay.
The hands have always been the weak point.  At below freezing temps, even with large Gortex motorcycle glove, my finger still get cold.  I have tried grip warmers, which keep your palm warm, but the finger tips still freeze.

the face shield I have is 2 sheets of glass spaced apart for the fog. its a snowmoble helmet made to take the cold. And ya my fingers are the frist to get cold thank god I only have to go about 2 miles to work.

Sears Craftsman work jacket.  Waterproof, snap out lining, reflective stripes, elastic in wrists so sleeves don't billow and puff up.  It is the warmest thing I've ever owned.  I don't feel any wind or cold come through it at all when riding.  I lucked into it on sale for around 50 bucks.  Tip:  try several on and completely zip/snap up to see how it fits around your neck.  I love it.  This photo doesn't show the true color which is bright BRIGHT yellow!

P.S. it's somewhat stiff around the neck but mine is still new and still breaking in.

Hey, recently I had to ride my Xciting from service and temp was around -7°C, The only thing I would change is adding some hand shields. Front part of scooter is perfectly designed and my 188cm body was fully protected against wind, but as I was riding home, My hands totally froze. I couldnt move my fingers and I have Daytona hot grips installed.. We just arent suposed to ride in freezing temperatures... looking forward to first hot sunrays.:)
