How do you keep your head warm?

[Boyfrom64]

I was recently having a discussion about riding through the winter and was told that you need to keep your hands, feet and head warm and then riding through the winter will be a lot easier.
I now have my feet and hands warm, the question is how do I keep my head warm because I know that I cannot get a bobble type hat under my helmet.
Your experiences on what to wear under my helmet will be greatly received?

Skull Cap?

A Buff is the answer.

Cool in the summer, warm in the winter.
And if you wear a plastic lid, it will fit under that too.

Skull cap under the helmet, or a woolly hat if you don't wear a lid.
This combined with a buff around the neck is my winter routine

bandana, cycle cap, buff, thick cycle cap, thick cycle cap with ear flaps, thick cycle cap with ear flaps and a buff over my face, thick cycle cap with ear flaps and a thick buff over my face. a train.

As the temperature drops....


... but each in turn not all at once.

I've got a buff (folded into a skull cap) on to save putting the heating on in my house . (The bald patch on my head is the first part to feel the cold!)

I prefer wearing a buff round my neck on cold rides to keep out chilly draughts. I found a new Gore skull cap my size when out on a walk and that is excellent on cold rides, especially if it rains.

Altura skull cap which I got as a freebie from Cycling Plus. Thought was a tad naff when I first got it, now never off my head during the winter. Fits nicely under the helmet too.

Just bought a slim skull cap in black for just such purpose, for £1.49 from Aldi. It's good; a real bargain.

I would also add "knees" to your list.

There is always a cycling balaclava which fits nicely under the helmet.

I have a Ron hill running skull cap thing I bought from go outdoors. Fits nicely under a helmet. Remember to keep your neck warm too. Loose a lot of heat there if not correctly insulated

Skull cap here, wind proof front though. The Aldi ones are fine.
