I am extremely fond of the Riv "Triple Tube" and have several of them. It is relatively lightweight merino wool, and long enough that when it's really cold I pull it up to cover my chin and ears. When it's not as cold, I scrunch it down around my neck and it gets small enough to still get some cooling to my neck. Alas, it appears that they may only have them in pink at this time: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ac21.htm It might be worth a phone call to RBW to see whether they have any other colors around... They do have the possum wool version of the neck gaiter, which I have also, but it is significantly thicker and warmer. Very soft and cozy! http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ac92.htm cheers, Andrew

Unfortunately, some of my favorite jerseys -- notably the otherwise entirely excellent Wabi Woolens one -- have collars that are a wee bit low to do this. What do y'all use to keep your neck warm in situations where you don't want to add another garment with a higher collar? My fleece neck gaiters are too thick much above 40F; thin scarfs are awkward and look a bit twee. Is there anything that will fit snugly about the neck and be compact enough to fit *under* a jersey collar when it is fully zipped? Patrick Moore, about to go run some errands in ABQ, NM where it is currently 53* -- cold enough to need neck protection, sunny, and -- mirabile dictu! -- calm -- we've had wonderful weather for the last several weeks. -- ------------------------- Patrick Moore, Albuquerque, NM, USA For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html ------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
