Head gear for cold/wet

[solmisation]

What do you recommend to wear under your cycling helmet on cold/wet days? My ears were getting a little cold this morning at about 7.30, especially on the downhill sections of my run.

Either a headband like this Links to Wiggle

Or a skullcap

Or a [URL="http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/dhb_Buff/5360032136/"]buff[/URL]

Just using Wiggle to show examples- you can probably get these at your local bike shop.

When it really gets cold, I wear a fleece head band, but it is no where near cold enough yet...

I shall be buying an Endura Merino skullcap for this winter.

When skiing in extremely cold conditions, I used to wear a silk balaclava under a fleece hat, to great effect.

When cycling in the cold, I use a headband, silk balaclava, and a buff under a helmet.

Keeps my ears, and head, warm as toast!

I wear a Sealskinz Beanie. Works a treat

I find a buff more than enough at the moment. Easier to adjust of things warm up too

A Sealskinz Windproof hat - nice and thin, specifically to go under helmets
