Anyone else get earache when cycling on a windy day? Tonight was fairly mild but very windy and my left ear was aching a lot. What's the solution, earplugs?

Have you tried a buff? Can be worn under a helmet if you wear one.

as above, a buff or if you are prone to getting earache cotton wool (shouldn't impair your hearing too much)....i wear a buff on my early morning commute....helps keep my ears warm

I don't get earaches as such but if it's windy I'll consider wearing a skull cap under my helmet even if it's fairly warm, mainly because less wind noise makes riding less stressful for me.

I'm not sure what to wear for this though!

I always shave my hair short and have found a merino wool skull cap to be the best thing to keep your head and ears warm. Great to about -5, wicks brilliantly and still keeps you warm when it is wet from sweat or rain. Thin enough to fit under your helmet without too much fuss. Not very expensive either (about £15). :smile:

No, but I used to after mentioning buying bike parts to my girlfriend :thumbsup:

I wear one of these for cold weather, but it may get stuffy with a helmet on top in this weather.

I get earache quite often if its at all windy, when my hairs short and i wear a helmet. For some reason the wind seems to be very noisy around the helmet.
