Make sure this layer is also breathable, otherwise you could be soaking wet from sweat by the time you get off your bike. My favorite for this is my Sugoi\u00a0 jersey (<a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/sugoi-hotshot-jersey-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reviewed here<\/a>).

I did a lot of research on balaclavas, and wrote an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-cycling-balaclavas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in-depth post about how to choose the best balaclava<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0That post also\u00a0compares the seven best balaclavas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The single most important thing is to choose a balaclava\u00a0that goes far enough down the neck to keep your neck warm. Also, I notice from reader feedback and from affiliate sales that of all the balaclavas I recommend, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47K08K8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chaos CTR Tempest Multi Tasker<\/a> is by far the most popular.

It functions like a scarf to keep your neck snuggly and warm, but does not have any dangerous dangly bits (you do NOT want to go the way of Isadora Duncan!). The best\u00a0one I have tried is the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2jGsHBo\">Heat Holders neck gaiter<\/a>. It is super warm, and also very soft against the skin, thanks to the fleece lining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" data-src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=far58-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B0119SI6CK&amp;asins=B0119SI6CK&amp;linkId=a5ba44b8b3b0b8d69af15262885d5951&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-another-alternative-to-keep-your-head-warm-a-skull-cap\" class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Another Alternative to Keep Your Head Warm &#8211; A Skull Cap<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Another good alternative is a skull cap or beanie\u00a0to wear under your helmet (or instead of, if you don&#8217;t wear a helmet). There are a lot of cheap options for this, and you should be able to find one that suits your needs. Below is my personal favorite warm and comfy skull cap, a very <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SYirap\">warm and cozy under-helmet beanie<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" data-src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=far58-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B0CHW3G4TK&amp;asins=B0CHW3G4TK&amp;linkId=c38dc9e45dfe925994afeeff7082f829&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-protect-your-eyes-while-cycling\">Protect Your Eyes while Cycling<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For safe winter cycling, it is also essential to protect your eyes from icy winds (assuming you don\u2019t want to spend the day with red, inflamed eyes).

After years of trial and error, my <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3N2PgiF\">Gore Bike Wear<\/a> gloves are my favorite (<a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/gore-tex-cycling-gloves-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reviewed here<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" data-src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=far58-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B075QRXTTH&amp;asins=B075QRXTTH&amp;linkId=a4e149e0867f118c4be348ab73e106ec&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It&#8217;s great to wear layers on your hands as well. For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2etDzPa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">silk glove liners<\/a> make a great base layer, and make it much easier to remove your big gloves (if for example you need to use your fingers for something).<\/p>\r\n<p>Without glove liners, what often happens is that you really battle to put your outer gloves back on again, when you are out in the cold and wet, and your fingers are sweaty. The silk glove liners make it much easier to slide your outer gloves back on again. Get the white ones, not the black ones &#8211; the black ones get lost really quickly!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_8630\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8630\" style=\"width: 288px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2etDzPa\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8630\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/gore-tex-cycling-gloves-review\/silk\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/silk.jpg?fit=288%2C257&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"288,257\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Joe Goodwill&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1420549542&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gore-Tex Cycling Gloves\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Gore-Tex Cycling Gloves &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;I like to wear silk liners under my gloves.
