I find when the temps drop close to or below freezing, the two main problems for me are my feet and my face. Feet are fixed by extra socks and putting a jacket around the end of my sleeping bag (hopefully soon a EE quilt!). But for face, I end up just pulling my top insulation over my head which only works until I shift and a draft come in.
I always wear a stocking cap on my mostly-bald head, but I've always been averse to having something on my face (and my wife won't let me grow a beard!). JRB says they use balaclavas anytime the temp goes below 70°F, so I was wonder if anyone else had any experience with these? I didn't like the stocking cap at first, but now I've gotten used to it and feel naked without it. Wondering if it might be the same with a balaclava?
