How many of you folks wear something light (a bandanna or something) over your nose and mouth for cold air? I'm finding it feels like it's just shredding my throat, and I end up having a nasty cough for hours afterward...
Is it just wishful thinking that a nose/mouth covering would heat the incoming air a little and maybe at least slightly reduce the harshness of the air?

I do, when it's really cold. I got a silk balaclava from ...some website... last winter. I didn't need it often, but when I needed it, it was perfect. I tried a bandana, but the cotton gets too wet with my breath. The balacalva was perfect. Light enough that my head didn't get too hot, but warmed my breath and protected my neck and chin.

Kit, you could get a couple of thin merino Smartwool-type neck gaitors. Leave one on your neck and pull the edge of the other one up over your mouth and nose. The thin wool breathes, and won't hold moisture as much as cotton. I actually plan on sewing two together so I have a TALL neck gaitor to pull up over my mouth and nose when it's really cold.

Thank You!
I woke up to find all these wonderful posts and links.
I will be checking them all out today.
Lise-I like the idea of keeping a journal.
Colby- I too am a sweater and very cold tolerant.
Thank you everyone for the advise, the links, and the support.
