It is getting cold, however a thin cap would do the trick which is what I use or a buff? bit easier to work with than ear muffs imho

Aldi do a "Winter cycling set" This has some over shoes (a waste of time) and a thin skull cap that covers the ears for £7. The skull cap is brilliant I can highly recomend it.

+ 1 for the Aldi skull cap. Found a Nike one in a Sport Direct shop yesterday for £3.

Altura Skullcap does me. Keeps yer ears nice and toasty on those cold mornings.

i wear a skull cap. v.good.

I must say, although i don't own any of the aldi products, i do wear overshoes on my rides in the winter, this may just be down to my shoes having lots of ventilation and my feet get cold quickly without them, so they are a must for me.

Skull cap here, got a Biemme one and an Aldi....both have a windproof front/top, and cover the ears if you pull them down....

I have both, aldi skull cap and a berghaus earwarmer/headband thingy. Both spot on.

The Aldi overshoes are OK if it's just cold, or just damp. If it's raining then it's my heavy duty BBB waterproof ones. Only need my overshoes when temps drop below about 3-4c - current MTB shoes don't have too many vents.

I would like to avoid skull cap as I have spiky hair

 

[ttcycle]

go for the buff then and pull it up to your ears- or can't you spike your hair once you're at your destination?

I've got a thin fleecy hat for cold weather, a buff, and a gore windproof earwarmer/headband from a cycleshop for not-so cold weather (it's fine for the ears in colder weather but my head gets cold). In very cold weather I use them in combination.
