Does it make you go really really fast at the end of your ride? Also do you have to cut your own eyeholes?

Cutting the eyeholes spoils the aero dynamic benefits  4

I think I read that last line wrong Gkam. It reads like you're mister potato head with body parts randomly rearranged! I also swear by my merino buff this time of year. If you're glasses steam up, try something like this:

Although I believe neat washing up liquid also works.

Ok, i meant this thread as a joke because of that stupid looking Cav mask, but ok on a serious note

I had this

But it was awful, so i got the same kind of thing, but it covers down a bit on my chest and my ears

i have one of these 'buff' style garments and have never worn it - until this weekend.
I had it around my neck from the outset and was so cold when leaving the cafe for the ride home i pulled it up over my chin and ears. It was so snug i thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

I'd suggest you try a buff, but a 'Cav in the buff'... I'm not so sure I'd go for that.
