Fold your mini-Buff in 1/2 and then in 1/2 again. It is now about 1-2" in size -- rather like a head band. So, wrap it around the head so that it over your ears and your nose. Fold the part over the nose in half again so you can breathe. Voila. Nose buff.

The nose buff is amazingly effective. The nose stays warm; the cheeks are covered; the ears get a little more cover, but you have enough air flow so that it doesn't get nastily wet.

Over the years I've gotten many a great recommendation and ideas on TE, but the nose buff really rocks. And, apparently, found only on TE!

[I found a pick using google image ... http://blog.fitzgeraldsbicycles.com/?attachment_id=5822 but the wearer is missing that extra fold on the nose ]
I was actually going to experiment with something like this -- I hate hate hate having any clammy scarf or balaclava or neck gaitor in front of my mouth when it's cold, but sometimes my nose really needs to be covered. Thanks ladies!!!
