I'm about to undertake an overland trip through Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to do the silk road and Pamir highway.
I did the same trip last year and loved it!!
I'm after a bit of kit advice on one problem though.
We rode with open face peaked helmets last year that were great as you could really interact better with the locals, and you get that lovely wind-in-your-face feeling which is why we love bikes!
Only problem is, my nose got really wind/ sunburnt regardless of the buff I used and the factor 50 I put on!
My question is, would wearing a full face adventure lid (with a peak) cure this, or does anyone have any recommendations on other face masks etc that might help??
Appreciate this sounds a bit daft but being of the fair skinned ginger persuasion it really is an issue in the sun!!
Thanks all
