I might look into these to wear under my helmet, are they warm? How thick are they?

You can get the Arctic Yowie, which is fleece lined, or just the Yowie, which is a very thin, flexible material.  I've never tried the Arctic Yowie, but I have 2 Yowies and they're comfortable.  I don't like using them as a beanie though, I never really figured out how to do it right so when I make it into a beanie it sucks.  But I love it as a facemask bandana type thing.  They are way better than bandanas.

they're pretty thin, and probably not very warm, but they're really soft and stretchy and comfortable.

I only have the standard Yowie, it is pretty thin, but that is what I like, so it is easy to breath through. I think the "arctic Yowie" is thicker, but I have never seen one in person.

alright, I'll just look into the traditional yowie to wear as a face mask. The yellow one looks pretty sick.

OMG they look like a total rip off from BUFF: http://www.buff.es/us/index.php?p=USA
Buff Calls the one with fleece an Polar Buff and they call it an Artic Yowie......
Resemblance much?

No wonder BUFF advertises as The original multifunctional headwear.

I'd go for Buff: they are more expensive but they are proven and use High quality Materials and have all kinds of certifications and they have over a 100 desgins.

I've had my Buff for a year now (the Original) and it's amazing, it doesn't fray it's very light to breathe trhough, its very light to wear but it blocks wind, and cold like no other. I've also machine washed it alot and it's still like they day I bought it.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Ive got the original buff aswell and it's awesome. The tube is quite long so I usually double it up. If it gets wet from your breath or whatever just turn it round a bit and you're good to go.

Got one, it is nice, comfy ect like everyone else said only thing to watch out for is your face size. I guess I have a kinda big face? haha so when I wear the yowie as a bandana it's pretty tight on my face kinda looks a little goofy, not loose like a bandana.

Just a heads up.
