Ultra-thin balaclava?

[MikeWalters]

Anyone know where to get a very, very thin balaclava? I use the Doo Modular2 helmet, it is very warm, would just like a thin layer with my face exposed. Mostly to help keep the neck a bit warmer. Most 'neckwarmers' are too bulky. Any ideas?

thanks

Good idea, that should be easy to find. thanks.

I have some boots from Mark's and am totally blown away at their performance for what I paid for them.

The ski-doo mountain balaclava is absolutely awesome! If there is a dealer near you!

I just use a thin balaclava and pull the face opening down over my head to keep neck & chin warmer. When the helmet comes off I pull it back up over my head .... Works pretty well. I keep a heavier balaclava in the pouch for colder days or when wearing the Klim F4 helmet which is much colder.

I have the same helmet, and are using this balaclava. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037Y ... UTF8&psc=1

If I have anything Id improve on this balaclava, it would be Id make it slightly longer. This season I bought a Klim Valdez jacket and it has a very high neck collar. With the Valdez jacket the balaclava is perfect for length. With my old Yamaha jacket, every once in a while Id have to tuck it back in on the back of my neck. It has more than enough length on the front of the neck.

I tried others along the way, and keep coming back to this one. Earlier this week I was thinking to myself I hope I can find another one to buy so I can have a spare, so I Googled it and found it on Amazon for $6.04. At that price I bought 2 of them and just received them today.

They are super thin on top and do an excellent job of keeping your neck warm.

Are they a snowmobile boot or some other type of boot?

I am in need of some new boots but can't make up my mind on what to get!

Some more info on them Mike would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Mike.

Pricier than what I thought they'd be but if they work, then likely worth it.

I have heard great things about these boots, especially the light weight, but also suppose to be very warm?

At this point in the season, I think I may wait until some sales come up or wait until the sled shows next fall.
