One of the many useful tips I discovered in this winter’s reading of Proficient Motorcycling was the role that keeping my neck covered while riding can play in keeping me warm. We’ve all heard that old trope that “75% of your body heat escapes from your head” and true or not, an aspect of that is taken care of by simply having a helmet on. Yet your neck is venting heat to the outside world like crazy. Those big blood vessels carrying the red stuff up to your brain act like radiators — venting heat right out of your body and into the cold air.
