i wear one like it for work and its the biz. only thing is your nose feels even colder than it actually is cos your ears are so snug. when its cold on a beach i have my trusty balaclava. cant wear that in work tho cos i work with planes and the passengers get a bit nervous if they see it as their bording :D :D

a captain put in a complaint a few years ago. one guy was de-icing an aircraft in a rig with a telescopic boom(like esb use) and wearing his balaclava. a passenger saw him as his face past the window and SH1T herself :lol: . she said it to the captain who put in a complaint over the radio. we havent been allowed to wear them since :evil: :evil: .
