I have a fleece neck gaiter from Columbia. I wear it round my neck and pull it up the back of my head to cover my ears, leaving the rest of my head bare (under the helmet) to keep from overheating. If I get too hot, I can pull the back back down without stopping to cool off, or pull the front up to cover my mouth.
