Need some face protection from the cold on my early morning rides. Can anyone link me to some sites that make these? Thanks!

I bet one of those helmet 'socks' that car & truck drivers use would work. They can't be that expensive. Though I'm sure they have different kinds i.e. cotton (cheaper) and Nomex (expensive).

I just bought something very similar thats just the mask. Used i this morning and kept me plenty warm. If Pistol's listening i need one with Optimus prime printed on it.

I'd like to possibly get a Schampa because they support the sport and RDC's very own Pistol Pete. I noticed the one that Barge posted was only $10. I'm on my PDA right now and can't see the images from Schampa but I'm hoping their prices are about the same. My face froze this morning at 530am on the way to work. Thanks!

I wear this one:

I bought it at Cycle Gear and it seems to do pretty good to keep my face warm in the mornings, it was 37* this morning and 32* yesterday morning and my face wasn't cold. Keeping my shield from fogging up and condensation buildup now that is a different story!

Is it ok to use on plastic visors too? I actually have never tried it. My helmet is a Scorpion and the shields are supposed to be no-fog and lately it seems to be getting worse but I don't want to screw up their coating by using something on it that I shouldn't.
