You need a Polar Buff.

Sensodyne toothpaste!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Anyone mentioned a buff?

 

[jonny jeez]

yes

I disagree, all my buffs are super thin and cover my moth if I wish. However,I'm can't stand it when they do cover my mouth, I struggle for breath and my glasses fog up really quick.

I'm sure it's a psychological thing as it can't really restrict my breathing but it feels like it does.

I suspect the OP will struggle with anything other than perhaps a full face lid or guard of some sort that shields the mouth but allows free flow of air.

This is probably the best suggestion

I don't seem to have your problems, nor other people by the looks of things.
I think it's a classic case of it works for some but not others.

I've tried balaclavas and scarfs over the years but i've never quite managed to keep the cold out of my mouth. I get terrible dental pain after a ride in anything but warm weather, so much so that my teeth throb and i have to take painkillers to ease it. Even then it takes a while to go.
I've seen full face masks but they seem to be for motorcyclists and skiers. I don't think i'd be able to breath enough through material and therefore it'd affect my cycling and wouldn't be very pleasant. Can anyone recommend a mask or anything else that'll keep the cold out of my mouth but allow me to breath easily?

Could a gum shield work, like a boxers shield?

Never worn one so don't know if they restrict air flow.

The problem with sticking a buff over your mouth is that, in cold weather, your breath condenses in the fabric and it ends up all soggy. This is fine as long as the buff stays warm but it's not a good feeling when it cools down.

Sensodyne toothpaste!

And see a dentist

Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far! I've done a bit of research and i reckon i've been brushing my teeth too hard and with a hard bristled brush so i've worn down the surface enamel which exposes tiny nerve endings As some have suggested i could visit a dentist but i'm not paying umpteen quid for someone to tell me something i've just read up about, I can either try some Sensodyne toothpaste or cover up. A buff sounds ok but as Slowmotion says, they get soggy in cold conditions and aren't very comfy afterwards. Maybe i should just keep taking the painkillers if the other options don't work.

This might be ok?
