Being well used to cold winter riding I can heartily reccomend the use of a PLO
scarf for keeping your neck and face warm. Mine folds into a large triangle. The
centre of the longest edge (hypotenuse) fits over the nose and the trailing
edges are wrapped around the neck, thus sealing your jacket collar, neck and
face. A useful side effect is that your breath is deflected downwards, away from
the visor. I can get them from a local army surplus stores for IRP5 each in a
variety of colours. I've tried balaclavas and fleece neck tubes but they're
nowhere near as effective.

They may however elicit some strange looks in your current political climate.
