I live in Chicago and try to ride outside through the winter (so long as there is no ice on the road). After many tries, I love my balaclava from Boure. It is nice material (does not itch) and washes well. It also is the right weight so that I do not feel too hot or too cold.

I also use Aquaphor around my nose and lips once the temperature drops into the 30s. (I keep a special jar for my face so I don't use the one I use for my feet!) I have tried other products but this seems the best, even on my sensitive skin.
