The cold air does tend to pop and irritate my ears, but I just pull the hat down to cover them and it's wide open. 22 degrees this morning when I left the house, but if you dress for it, the cold air really wakes you up by the time you get to the office.

I have found that tight knit hats (beanies) and leather gloves are your best friend for top down driving this time of year in temperate regions. I for one drive with it down as long as it's above 40 degrees (F) or so. I personally feel warmer when I'm driving faster in chilly weather....maybe the adrenaline rush?

138 top down. wind only got bad around 120.. but seemed to get better at 130. .took a while tho, you can clearly feel the difference between top up and top down in relation to drag.

If I have to travel for longer than an hour at 70+ mph, the top goes up.
