I use a buff on my head and another one round my face like this (one is under my helmet)

Buff over a winter beard does it for me!

If it is really cold I wear a gore balaclava, similar to this;

but it has a mesh around the mouth which means I can still drink from a water bottle.
If it's not too cold, just a buff pulled up per as others.

buff & skull cap unless it is really cold then I go with buff and hood from my climbing hoodie (still attached) which is designed to go under a helmet and covers more than my skull cap and allows me to hear more (it also breaths more and is windproof unlike my cycling jersey), but today was not cold enough (-5C) for anything other than the buff (with suitable clothing - I know what you are thinking!)

These things are a lifesaver. I'm right on the coast so the breeze does tend to have a bit of a nip with it. Then again I have rosey cheeks anyway so it does get to me.

A Buff.....

Buff

My first winter with a Beard and it's retired the buff though.

Skull cap and two buffs, one for lower neck, and one for face. Hate to say it, but moisturise after. My face dries out really bad in prolonged cold spells.

Moisturise the mush every evening I do...
It's why my skin feels like that of a babies botty..

Stu said face, not head!

(I wear a Gore skullcap to keep my head warm. I found a brand new one my size worth £18 when out on a walk!)
