Improve a North45 scarf

Last March, we first heard about the North45 scarf. Created by Canadian entrepreneur Dimitri Poliderakis, it's designed to keep winter sports enthusiasts' faces warm while simultaneously not causing their goggles to fog up – a feat that regular scarves often can't manage.

I recently tried the North45 out on a couple of fairly frigid fatbike rides, and it worked like a charm. I initially had some problems getting the one magnet to stick to the goggles using the included adhesive-backed silicone, but Poliderakis subsequently sent me a packet of Sugru, which so far appears to have done the trick. He will now be including the Sugru with all his scarves.
