Football helmet?
I was referring to the under armour piece I mentioned, its meant to be used under a football helmet...so I'd assume it'd work under a motorcycle helmet as well.

i don't think that will be sufficient for a motorcycle. doesn't look like it would block any wind. it'd me like wearing tights on your head. fine for standing around but not when going 70mph

Find a thin neoprene ski mask that just covers your chin and nose areas. You may have to trim the "beak" on the nose a little, but they fit nice and snug, and will slide in under a full face without a problem. Wear one of those polartec balaclavas that you can wear as a hat or as a neck gaitor, around your neck. They really work.

I wear a thinsulate baclava or however you spell it I bought from my local snowmobile dealer for around $10 and use it anytime the weather gets colder.They are very thin and fit under most hemets with no fitment problems,it is nice when we go on long ATV rides when the ground freezes or when we get dumb and go for bike rides in near zero weather.A thick scarf is also handy to keep in the storage bin when the windgets too cold on the neck

i got a face mask from ems in the mall. its like neoprene on the out side but fleece on the inside its really warm and no wind gets through it. it was about $20. its got two flaps that wrap around your head and velcro together. covers everything under your ears to your lower neck... i love it.
