My New Neck Warmer Gets an “A”
Sometimes a balaclava is just too much. Besides, it’s a bit claustrophic (now, baklava, that’s a different story). I was looking for a neck warmer that wouldn’t require encasing my entire head for warmth, and I think I’ve found it.
The Schampa Zip D’Zip (hey, I didn’t name it) is a soft fleece neck warmer with a front zipper. Easy on and off, and truly cuddly. It’s high enough and thick enough that it acts as a soft gasket to keep wind from whistling through my helmet, so I think it may replace the bank-robber balaclava I used last winter.
Funny how my helmet doesn’t feel all that well-ventilated in summer…
