    Stopping powder down the neck?

    I wear a helmet, a balaclava, a v decent jkt with a hood down but cinched tight....but still you go over a couple times in balls deep pow and there's snow getting down the back of your neck or at least piling up round the top of the hood waiting to get down there asap. Hell, if you're out and it's pounding it doesn't take much for build up on your hood and it's getting down there. Given all the amazing tech we have and smart people I'm surprised I've never seen some kind of means to attach a hood to a helmet above the collar gap. Is it out there and i missed it? Hoodback under goggles strap?

    Based on your user name and questions, the board has scheduled a vote to elect a new chairman.

    Simple solution- Move east.
    I live in Maine, and really don't have this problem.

    Lesbo 9000 strap works.

    Very hard to find these days. They caused a fair amount of chafing and fell out of favor.

    Seriously, just aqua seal your jacket collar to your neck. It'll work. PM xxx-er for confirmation, eh.

    This seems like one of those humblebrags. Oh, I'm skiing so much powder I'm choking on it, oh it's terrible!
    Fuck you
    No longer stuck.

    It's honestly not...I watched weeks of US dumps while we had zero here...and it would be less of an issue if I sucked less.
    We have waterproof zips etc for a reason I just figured there might be something I'd missed for necks.
    Right, off to fuck myself.

    Dry-suit neck gasket on your jacket. It could work!
