Will a beard help during colder conditions? I imagine not, soaked beard in 30-40F degree air

Good question.....Originally Posted by nickzilla720
I think it would be warmer than a freshly shaved face. My guess would be yes.
just want to make sure you dont get icicles hanging from your beard:
Certainly, anything can serve as insulation, especially in windy conditions. But it is no substitute for good ol' neoprene.
I had a beard last year, and it didn't keep me warmer in the water. In fact its works against you. Your hood doesn't seal as good and beard ices up. Going clean shaven this year.
I have a goatee, and it doesn't do diddly when it's winter time. Maybe a trip to Rincon might help
glad we dont get this cold down here in ncjust want to make sure you dont get icicles hanging from your beard:
i'm growing some sick sideburns for winter time, also no more haircuts.
i stick with no beard/ shaven head/ no hood. pretty warm....
i shave my head every thanksgiving... i'm definatly warmer without a head of wet hair.
it def helps to have a lil scruff to cut down on that bitter winter against your face.
