Recommend me a skull cap and a buff

[chipmonster]

Hi all

It was zero degrees when we got to gisburn this morning and this is just the start.

I think I need a skull cap and a buff or anything to keep my nut warm!

Thanks in advance

There's a thread in the accessories section. For a buff, the origibal buffs are best. For a skull cap, depends on budget. Folk swear by Rapha and Assos but it'll be £50. I got a Pearl Izumi one from eBay for £12

Try a Polar Buff.

I think that you can also get buffs made from pure merino wool. I think that Sports Direct might do them but I may be wrong.

My Specialized skull came out one day last week - did the business. On the buff front, I use them most days, they're great for light rain, almost any wind. Everyone and their mum seems to get me one each on birthdays and xmas, so I've got most brands. The originals are slightly bigger than most of the acolytes and for me that's better.

When winter really hits I wear a cap and a buff in scarf mode - so get both is my twopenneth worth.
