Agreed, inside out and no pressure points. Nice and toasty!

I've been using the Noj "Quiet Rider" helmet curtain (I think it's mainly for snowmobiles) for years with good results.

Or turn it sideways so the seams are in a non-pressure area.
But you
had
to have the logo in the right place, helmet or no helmet
hmm... I think turning a balaclava sideways may make for a very short, dark, and exciting ride!

Thats what you need
Nice big fleecy bit for around your neck and then the thinner
seamless
material for over your head. I don't have a branded Buff one since I found a no-name in a sports shop (intended for skiing I believe) for about half the price but I would definitely consider getting one of these otherwise.
Much comfier than a true balaclava in my opinion and since you can just scrunch it down around your neck when you take your helmet off it is one less thing to forget and leave at a petrol station
Plus you don't look like you're about to rob the place!

Oops, just noticed I pasted the UK link in there. It refuses to let me go to the US site since it must be tracing my IP and forwarding me to the "correct" place. I'm sure you'll be able to work it out, it's the Polar Buff.

No no no!!! THIS is what you need:
http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/off+road/mx+jackets+&+cold+gear/klim_windstopper+balaclava
I have one, and love it. The windstopper portion (the black part) is thin enough that I wouldn't mind it between my head and helmet, unlike a thick chunk of fleece. However, any portion that IS between my head and helmet is a vented mesh that lets your head breathe, and it's half as thick as the windstopper part. Downright affordable, too. I picked mine up at Nielsen Enterprises; I've also seen them at BMW motorcycle dealers for reasonable money ($25-30).

edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, at 40deg.F on the Interceptor, I notice my Tour Master Cortech jacket zipper leaking cold air more than this balaclava does. It works! /gushing
