    I need help! I live in Texas so it does not get really cold here for long and when it does I just try not to get out in it or spend as little time as possible when I do. Since I started playing disc golf recently I find myself getting out in weather I normally would not and I am not prepared.

    I have been wearing a fleece lined hat and it has worked well for me when its just cold out but recently I played a round where it was cold and windy so my face and neck froze. First is there a better hat I could wear? Better material? Is merino wool any warmer? I was looking at a local sporting good store and they had one that looked like it had foil on the insideĀ :)

    Next is face and neck protection. I have been looking on here and found Buffs and was wondering if you guys thought they would work for my situation? If so what material would offer the best wind resistance and warmth? I also found Balaclavas and thought those would work but did not really care for the condensation issue. Would it be better though? The versatility of the Buff is also appealing to me and it seems I would be able to get a similar effect with it plus my hat as a Balaclava without having to keep it on the whole time if it got to warm. Also please keep in mind that any face covering needs to not interfere to much with my field of vision

    Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
