New rider, newbie question..

[3shapes]

Hi all,

Just bought my first bike - a little ybr - and happily found this community.

I have a question about weather protection. I feel prepared rain wise apart from one issue: How do people stop rain going down/up your neck? Any tips very welcome.

Thanks

Welcome along.

I wear a neck warmer- you can get some which have a waterproof shell. Failing that, get a Merino Wool one as that’ll still keep you warm when it does get wet.

Some jackets come with removable Gore-Tex neck wraps which would do the job the best I would say. However, I have one with my jacket but never use it as it looks like movement would be restricted somewhat...!

Yup,  when you feel THAT first drop find it's way down there

As Bippo said. Definitely a neck warmer!!!!
Before I started wearing one in the Eighties I was riding home from work and a bee stung me in the throat and left his poison sac in my throat. Luckily I was in the Red Cross at the time so I knew what to do.I got home and with a pair of tweezers extracted the sac without pushing the poison into my throat.
So since then I've always worn a neck warmer.
Mike.
