  I also use a balaclava and the thing I like about it is, if it is cold you
can position it to cover your mouth and then breath into it to keep your
chin
and face warm. If it is hot you can pull it down under you chin and let the
air
in.

   I have noticed that the Fog City inserts seem to last about 1 riding
season and
then need to be replaced. When they are first put in (new) they seem to be
very
clear and don't distort the view much. But as they get older they seem to
add more
distortion. Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried cleaning them with out
taking them
off the face shield and I have removed them from the face shield and cleaned
both sides
and they just don't seem to be as clear as when new.
