I have a fleece neck warmer that i pull up to my nose. super warm, then if its a warm day or im riding hard and im getting super hot ill just pull it down for a bit.

Yeah thats why I was kinda leaning towards neck warmers but have you seen AVALON7 facemasks? Apparently they are made out of some mesh material so they don't get wet and are only like 20 buck. Plus they are made by a member of this forum http://www.avalonseven.com/onlinestore.html

Bwahahaha! Wow. Someone must be f__king with us over there!

I use the Seirus half mask and I love it. I have the baclava but it doesn't fit that well. It seems that either the face-part is snug and the headcover is out of whack or vice versa. The mask-only option is where its at.

The only other good one I found was this On Sale Red Ninja Clava Facemask Black - Mens 2011 Facemasks Bandanas Banditos Gators Clothing Accessories re8ninbk11 but I feel like by having your breath blow up towards your goggles on the outside it would just fog on the outside of the goggles.

Have to say, I'm a fan of the Volcom facemask. Rode it all last season and it didn't freeze on me (which is what the white mesh is for). I had some burton bandana the year before that and it would be rock hard after just an hour.

I have the Under Armour neck gaiter

I'm surprised no ones mentioned the "Buff" product. I've had one for about 5 years and I haven't had any problems. It's basically a seamless tube that you pull over your face to wear around your neck, but you can wear it in different ways. http://www.buffusa.com/
I also have a Dakota face mask that I wear every so often. It really depends what I can grab first.

Sorry, but I don't trust anything without holes near the mouth and nose....besides air hole.
