it's nice to have on colder mornings to cover up the ears and then drop it down around the neck later. you could also pull it up further to cover more of your head as well.

Couldn't be happier with this thing. Keeps the chill of the neck and looks a bit fancy and that's all it needs to do. My neck is considerably thicker than the models but even still I couldn't be happier.

Specialized is the Best

I wore this on a semi-hot ride and it was comfortable and breathable. I also wore it on cold day rides and it was not only the same in those areas but added just enough warmth. I think in the on coming winter months it will def provide a comfortable base layer. Def my go to for each ride.
