The Riders' Scarf
As an open faced helmet wearer, I've usually ridden with a cotton bandana or scarf to keep the bugs out of my teeth. But one day, my mod mate (and CBMG scarf wearer), Bazza from Melbourne, suggested that I make something like a hair scrunchie for the neck. We brainstormed on Facebook and a while later, I came up with the Riders' Scarf.
I make these out of 100% cotton, and unlike polar fleece neckwarmers which come in any colour as long as it's black, it is available in an endless range of colours and patterns, and you can wear it in summer too. As it's moderately stretchy, you can pull it up over your nose, or just wear it around your neck to keep the breeze or sun off, whether or not you have your helmet on.
The sizes correspond with helmet sizes, ie. XS (52 - 54cm head circumference), S (55 - 56), M (57 - 58), L (59 - 60), XL (61 - 62) and XXL (63 - 64).
The price is $20, and postage (within Australia) per scarf is $2.
(Please note that from January 2011, all orders paid for by PayPal must be sent by registered mail - this will add $3 to postage charges within Australia, and will be quoted on an individual basis for international parcels.)
Here's a few fabric suggestions... and all these paisley fabrics are available as well:
