Recently I bought a cheapo £2 neckwarmer to try this garment type out, and Instantly fell in love with it ( well with the idea/function of one ,not the crap synthetic one I bought).

Can you suggest which one is a really nice one, MUST BE Merino or Cashmere,
I looked at the Original Buff one http://www.wiggle.co.uk/buff-merino-wool/
however seems like its really really thin from the reviews online , my current cheapo is also really thin and it just lets the wind through... Must be something that is at least 55cm+ long, The Originall BUFF one is 65cm which would be ideal however not really sure if its suitable for any colder/windier days due to how thin it is.

I'm also playing around with the idea of just getting some cashmere jumper from thriftshop and making one myself as you can't really buy cashmere ones due to how expensive/rare they are, I have a few merino and a few cashmere jumpers, the cashmere is so so much warmer/better than merino when cycling even tho merino already is very gut material.

You can get wind proof ones. Not cashmere though #firstworldproblems

I've got an original Buff merino one. It looks thin but it's more than warm enough. Ruffles up and traps a lot of air. Bit like a baselayer - thin but makes a hell of a difference

Buff in merino flavour for me too. Amazing.

I have one of these - https://www.sigmasport.co.uk/item/Icebreaker/Flexi...

I haven't found it cold enough (so far) to keep it on for more than a few miles, without either removing or opening the jacket to cool down.

Just grow a winter beard. Does the trick without resorting to a snood.
