What would you guys suggest that I wear under my helmet... Balaclavas, neck warmer, beanie??? Let me know what you wear under your helmet and what brands you think are good. I want something that covers my head/face/neck.

Make sure that your helmet is designed to wear stuff under it. A lot of them aren't and make them useless if you put something under it

Melanzana microgrid hoodie because the hood does all of those things and its a good base layer. Not to mention they are hand crafted in Leadville

i wear a nike pro combat balaclava. i think its meant to be under like football helmets but its warm, thin and covers my face and neck. and I'm pretty sure it was only like $20, so not too expensive

dakine/under armour facemasks are my personal favorite. Warmer days, I'll just rock a neck tube/sunnies but for the best fit, definitely something that's skin-tight. Idk how people rock beanies under their helmets but that's just me.

Buff balaclava/hood combo + a flat brim, i have this on3p thats beat up so I wear it under my helmet with sunglasses. Most comfortable to me IMO. If you live somewhere where its below 20 degrees during the day you might wanna wear a beanie.

thin balaclava for warm days. on most days I use a thinner microfiber neck tube or two and a fitted beanie over it. I would recommend a fitted beanie because it keeps everything in place, and the helmet will fit you better without all the lumps and wrinkles that form when you try to fit a looser beanie under it.

knit balaclavas look sick and are warm. Either that or a buff necktube with a thin hat over top is the best

If you have to wear something, wear something very thin. Wearing a hat under your helmet makes the helmet not sit correctly on your head which significantly decreases its protective capabilities. I don't see why you would even need anything under your helmet, ski helmets are very insulated.

Get a better helmet. Every ski helmet I've owned has been more comfortable than a hat (aside from the first few hours or so the first time I wear it, due to needing time to break in). Try Giro, I find them to be the most comfortable.

Yup. This is a pretty important thing most people completely overlook. I see people rocking thick, knit beanies under their helmets and it is not very safe. I am a hypocrite because I still wear a beanie underneath, but its the thinnest one I can find.

Once again I'll say the Under Armor balaclava. Nice and thin fits under the helmet. On really cold days I'll wear a buff over it too.

You can wear something like this. But you need to make sure that there is space under your helmet. I bought this from http://www.cityhuntercap.com/. You can also try this site.
