Winter Hat

[EasyPeez]

All recommendations welcome as to favourite winter hats - summat inexpensive that'll fit under a helmet and keep one's lugholes toasty on the cold commutes.

Cheers.

I have something like this only bought in one of aldis cycling special buys, I find it does the job well..

I've just ordered a balaclava that, hopefully, keep more bits warm and dry than the skull cap I currently use.
Time will tell if I can ride and breathe through the material at the same time !

I find the traditional winter caps with peak and ear/neck flap best. Not sure whether they'd work with helmets though.

I got one of these last year, found it to be very good

Skullcap if it’s v cold (rarely needed as I have a lot of hair) or a running headband over my ears especially if a cold wind blowing

Silk skull cap. Cheap, with the added benefit that no one will ever know that I am bald.

This is what I wear under my helmet to keep me (and my ears) warm in the winter and am very happy with it: https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/...-thermal-cycling-cap/p/11734/?colorCode=black. Admittedly I didn't pay full whack for it as my LBS at the time were having a sale, but I still think it's good value for money.

Thanks for all the replies.

I like the look of the Bontrager, what with the peak for keeping winter sun out of the eyes and all. Will have a butcher's in Aldi first though, being a natural born cheapskate.

Cheers.

Buff does the job, if you also want to wear a helmet.

EDZ lightweight fleece balaclava for me - I find a cotton cycling cap & buff not warm enough at zero degrees.

I don't wear a helmet, I've been getting on OK with a cotton cycling cap since the autumn, and if it's really chilly/wet a buff pulled up over the face. The buff does restrict breathing a little, but not so bad I can't cope. I could easily ride without it, I just like how the warmth from my breath warms the face. Luxurious warmth, only downside is 10 miles in it can be a bit soggy, but still warm at least.

I pull my headover / milspec buff up over my ears. In really freezing cold I wear two.

I don't wear a helmet, I wear a cheap woolly Hat brought from Coventry market, had it for years, keeps my head and ears nicely warm.
