Keeping ears warm

[colly]

Off the wall I know but what about a buff?

or these:

I bought a fleecy headband thingy from decathlon to cover my ears, they get painful if the cold gets in them. I mislaid it when moving house so I started wearing my buff as a beanie hat under my helmet, and it works better, I've found. I also wear a fleece neck tube to keep my neck warm. I pull it up over mymouth and nose but i usually end up pushing it down partway into my journey when I get too hot.

Buffs are great - especially the polar ones with a fleecy bit at the bottom. I do like a skullcap for on top though.

Oh, and you could just wear the wooly hat without the helmet on top

Although I am the man of the house my wife said she would only give me permission to ride a bike if I wore a helmet lmao .

Buff. I wear one as a neck warmer mainly, and it has seen emergency service as a balaclava in a sudden hailstorm, performed great. Awesome things. Oh and you can turn them into bandanas for your kids...

I wear a headband made of fleece, it is larger where the ears are. Also, I use a triangular bit of fleece material too help keep the cold out of my crotch on really cold rides.

A like the idea of the triangle fleece it does get a bit chille on the .........

Skull cap for the head and ears - and a buff for the neck area, and pull it up if your nose is cold.

I use a cycling specific skullcap. Has slight ear specific bits which are better than just a beanie. A buff is a useful addition for the neck and face but this is only on very cold days which I try to avoid

Thank you so much for your replies.

After very little further thought I've decided on.........a buff.

Just looked on the manufacturer website, I now only have to choose from 222 designs of the original buff.

That's what I do.

A buff ...

Pull the tube over your head (like putting on a jumper) and stop as it starts to uncover the top of your head; then pull the front part down so it tucks under your nose, and it'll keep your head, ears, face and neck warm!

I've attached some lezyne femto lights to the wooly hat I wear. On the rare occasions I wear a helmet I use a buff under it to keep my ears warm.

frankly I'm amazed nobody has mentioned a buff before now
