    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?
    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.
