Default Bloody Weather - Wet Neck!

Got caught in another delightful downpour this morning and stayed pretty much dry, with the exception of my neck!

Fortunately I had a spare shirt here so didn't have to suffer with a wet collar all day, but what can I do to stop this?

Are there any products about?

I use an oxford comfy (got the piece of crap by paying extra at nec bike show last year) its good and i dont seem to get a cold wet neck it just falls apart...

Try something like a buff, i always put mine under my jacket and over my shirt if you get what i mean

I have a car for this!

I dunno, it is a good question though. I have a neck tube that seems to do the trick when I get caught in a downpour. Can't remember the brand.

Get a bike where the riding position isnt as near to doing a handstand as your current one?

I saw a product in HG the other day, kinda like the top part of a high neck fleece jacket. Just zips around your neck n tops of shoulders. Would have thought that would keep you dry?!

Isn't that a bit heavy to wear round your neck tho? Let alone a bit fiddly to do your zip up around it.

Oh wait, i think i get it now
