Anyone used a fleece-lined motley tube? - Suzuki Volusia Forums : Intruder Volusia and Boulevard Forum

I'm looking at purchasing one of these for 30-40 degree riding weather. Wondering how well the fleece lining will help in coldish weather riding...

Black Paisley Motley Tube Headgear

I've got a helmet coming in from leatherup that I'll be returning since I ordered the incorrect one, and figured i might pick one of these up as well. Looking for something cheap to replace the neoprene mask i purchased from them earlier. The mask works ok, but i'm not a fan of the lil' nose-piece on the front. I got the one with the half skull, and my 2yr old daughter screams when she sees it LOL I did leave it in light so it'd glow on Halloween night and rode through the neighborhood

I use the freezeout face/neck guard thing from cycle gear. Keeps the wind off my neck and somewhat out of the helmet. $10

I wear a Carhart baklava, works like a champ.

I use an old SAS headwrap. Balclava, neck gaiter, and you can make it into a hat.

I'm guessing baklava around your neck may work well but do you have a lot of Greek people chasing you for dessert?

I'm guessing you mean Balaclava, which is what I use also, no fleece, but it keeps the wind off.

The crumbs of baklava are usually sitting on my chest after I've been to Nick's for a gyro and yes, dessert.

Nick helps you with the pronunciation, he's got "Yeero" on the menu.

Balaclava/baklava, they both work.

SAS POLYPROPYLENE SURVIVAL HEADOVER | Brigade Quartermasters

The great thing about the headover ( I also really like using a shemagh for non motorcycling (I have a great one for hunting), but that's another story.... is that if you're warm and just want to wear it as a hat, that's good, you can just wear it around your neck or its truly large enough to wear over your face.

In a survival situation, its big enough to dry your slef if you get wet. spin it off, wrap it around your neck and it will be dry and warm in ten minutes!.

Same thing with the shemagh, but its a different sorty and not a goodthing for motorcyclists. For hunters it is unbeatable.
