I use a shamag.  US military issue btw.  Very warm.  Use just around your neck or full on arab, only showing eyes.

That looks like a good product.

My concern, because it's 2 layers, is if it affects the helmet fit.

Road bikes, I'm no longer riding in any weather below 40', so the plan old balaclava works.

That face mask looks good for Snowmobile or dirt bikes.

I'm with Hook, but slightly different.  I only ride to work when the temps are 50F and above, which is 80% of the year down here in South Texas.  I just don't enjoy the ride when they are any lower.
My hands are the only thing that gets cold, because I wear a full face helmet.
I have something similar to the product linked, but haven't worn it since I switched to the full face helmet.

I am with Hayhauler, I do ride during the winter when the tamps are above 40 and sun is shining (like today).   No face mask, just the FF helmet.   Hands are the part that get cool, so only stay out for an hour or so.

Zero experience with these, I'm also in the "I ride when it's comfortable" camp now but since you asked if these were found elsewhere on the Internet, think I found 'em on Amazon:

Non of the photos on the website show a figure wearing glasses.  A quick scan does not reflect any info about wearing glasses.  I do ride on colder days, but not very far--usually just to work and back--6 miles.  I have modular helmets which seem to work alright, but they do let cold drafts in.  Something like this would be great if it would work with glasses.
Nothing in moderation...

Sandy!

I was on looking up some information and thought I'd check the board and I saw your post.   I hope you are doing well!  Apparently you are if you are riding in freezing temps!  :crazy2: 

Anyhow.  Not much going on up here in Kansas.  It's been pleasantly mild winter so far.  Take care my man!

Love ya
Stude.

I only wear half helmets, and they stopped making them with zip on/off neck curtains.

I have a couple headovers I wear to keep my ears warm, but I don't cover my face (pulled under the chin) because it fogs my eyeglasses (the DMV insists I wear to drive/ride with - lol).

One of them is purpose built for motorcycle riding with a very thin part that covers the head under the helmet and warmer/heavier fleece on the sides/front/back where you need it.

I wear a modular helmet with a flip over chin bar.   Absolutely love it.   I almost always bring along a baseball style cap.   Keep one in the saddlebags of each bike.   On cold days I bring the chin bar into the full helmet style, face shield in place and tuck the back of that cap down into the jacket I'm wearing with the brim of the hat extending up around my throat.  

Doing that diverts wind that would normally hit my neck away and just doing that makes the ride much more enjoyable.   After arriving at the destination, that cap goes on my head.   Works very well for me.
