LOL . . .that's how I look when I jump on my Harley in winter.

Both of you guys might try a full-face helmet. I've got an older (20
years?) BMW flip up helmet that has soft inserts that literally "seal" your
head inside the helmet, for cold weather riding.

I've also got a newer (and, therefore, much lighter) version of the same
type of flip-up helmet, made by a Japanese company (whose name escapes me).
The newer one has a windscreen that wraps around further, to the point where
it doesn't impede peripheral vision at all.

They are both terrific for cool/cold weather, and would work great in the
Fly Baby.

But...but...Jay, they're *ugly*. When I fly, I want to look like Cap'n
Eddie, not Captain Apollo. :-)

Santa brought me the DVD of "Battle of Britain," I watched it tonight. I
*gotta* get me a white turtleneck like Robert Shaw wears.....
