Alpinestars Neck Warmer Base Layer Headband

Hubby ordered one of these for each of us & it quickly became something I never want to be without when we're out riding. Due to our work schedules, probably about 60-70% of our rides have been after dark recently so, obviously, it's gonna be cold. I have tried wearing a ski mask under my helmet (not comfortable IMO), wearing a big winter scarf & zipping up the warmest jacket I have that fits underneath my leather as high as it will go in an effort to keep freezing cold gusts of wind from traveling straight down my neck & the front of my body—largely without success. That's why hubby started looking at these Alpinestar gaiters in the first place & I'm so glad he did. It really does make a big difference. I even ordered a new one instantaneously when I thought I lost mine temporarily—it turned up the following day but I'm not mad about having a backup on hand. Now I keep that one in the saddle bags so that if I ever forget to put it on before we leave the house or if the weather takes a turn for the worse & I suddenly wish I had it on, I always have it if I want it. I have washed it a bunch of times already, so far it has held up great & still looks/feels good as new. If you're checking it out on Amazon or looking for something similar, I would definitely recommend this one.

I admittedly don't purposely ride when the temperature is below 50F, I hate being cold. I've done it a few times though leaving early on a day that was warning up starting out around 45F. Riding a CBR600 on the highway around 75mph, I got it pulled up over my nose with my helmet with on and it did great job keeping my neck warm enough. A cruiser or adv with a nice windshield you could probably be surprisingly comfortable even in a bit lower temperature.I've also worn it on a few runs as low as 30F, and same thing I wasn't as warm as I like but it was able keep me warm enough that I was at least able to get outside and do something over winter.

Everything that I expected

Perfect fitStill solid black color after months of use.It is warm

What I like about it… This is my third one that should say it all..😎

This thing frickin' rocks. I bought a new motorcycle off-season to save some money, but like anyone else - I wanted to ride it immediately. I live in Ohio, and it was December when I bought the bike. I've ridden in some 35 degree situations and quickly found out that I needed something to keep my neck warm. Keep in mind most of my riding is in town at <= 40mph, but mostly 25-30mph. Today I rode around 100 miles (@50 degrees) at 65mph with no problem at all.I didn't want something that went over my head (balaclava style), because I didn't want my helmet to be too tight. I also didn't want to look like I was ready to rob someone when I took my helmet off. This neck warmer works perfectly.I switch between goatee and clean-shaven, facial hair wise, and this neck warmer fits right over top of my chin and 'sticks' on my stubble (this is a good thing). It really stays put. When you put your helmet on, it kind of slides down a little, but it seals well with the helmet I wear. The helmet is a Speed and Strength SS700 "Top Dead Center".It also looks great on my weiner dog.

I’m a young adult and have to be careful with what neck/face warmers I use. This one has never given me issues as long as you wash frequently. Also, where I live it gets as cold as 30 degrees 90 degrees within the same day. This neck warmer can both keep you warm through out the cold days and not get you soaking in sweat throughout the warm days. I was impressed. Alpine star is the way to go.

Works perfect for those chilly morning rides on your motorcycle. Keeps the wind out and keeps you warm.
