I've got the UK flag buff. They are really good, kept the wind out and was light to carry around.

I've got 2 Polar Buffs, used them for the last 3 or 4 winters - I can't recommend them highly enough! Thumbs Up

Hi, yeah those neck gators are well worth getting. Got something very similar to a Polar Buff from P&H in Brighton for about a fiver. If you can get yourself down there id recommend getting one of those. Cant see them being any worse then the polar buffs + £10 cheaper. Perfect for keeping the cold out, use it all the time in this weather. Thumbs Up

Just a plain black neck gator. Not fleece lined like the Buff ones but its thick enough to keep cold wind out.

I've got a polar buff and its great really warm and looks good too. I also got one free on the RiDE magazine about 2 years ago and I really like that too in fact anything really to protect your neck is good news - the moral here is don't spend too much. I only got the (much more) expensive polar buff becuase I lost the cheap (free) on for a while...

The Polar Buffs are great, I've been using mine everytime it's a bit chilly outside, and a normal Buff on milder days. The Polar is made with a section of fleece and a section of some kind of thinner material and it's possible to have the fleece bit up to your chin and then pull the thinner material up over your mouth/nose. This keeps the chill off without having to have a load of bulky material wedged under your lid. It's possible to make Polar Buffs into all sorts of things such as hats and balaclavas but I've never bothered, I just use it as a neckwarmer.

I've got a motrax neck warmer, pulls up over your nose. It's really comfy and warm, only £4.99, too, bonus Thumbs Up

It is bright orange though Laughing Doesn't bother me, but some may find it a bit garish.
