Balaclavas

I am looking to get some head gear to keep my noggin warm this winter. I want to try get a decent cycling balaclava thats both water proof, wind proof and breathable (in both senses of the word - i want to breath freely but also be wicking/skin breathable)

Anyone have any experience with them?

I have tried those 'buff' things that are like tubes but found them way to constrictive and not very good at keeping the wind and water at bay.

Are there any that are perhaps like goretex but with a very breathable area around the nose?

Suggestions?

Paging Tommy.

best so far..

Fack....

Didnt take long at all did it...

Waterproof and breathable, i'm not sure if it's possible to get the best of both those features but the nearest thin I know is Moto products me amigo

Good man!

Though i think that the moto products may be a little warm while cycling. Its like helmets, they dont think someone is going to be increasing the body temp by 10 to 20 degrees...

Though youre being helpful! Those silly cints are trying to get Tommy involved...

ChainBreaker - What the fuck is wrong with you?

I read part of it and decided to ignore it...

Pretty sure its the all seasons silk - its nice and lightweight so you don't get a massive sweat on. Got it a couple of years ago, so cant remember the exact model - they have a store next to Stockwell tube
