Rode yesterday but couldn't find anything for my ears so I just cut off the arm of an old tee shirt , pulled it on and it worked just fine. I usually don't ride below 40 and anyway we will be skiing soon . Local mup becomes a 7 mile out and back double track with a skate lane up the middle. frisky

These need a picture. The ear warmers that is.

I use 180's ear muffs in cooler weather, the band goes around the neck instead of over the head.

do not know what you use to ski with, but I use an "ear band"(fluffy ring that covers ears,),and that fits nicely under the helmet when I ride and keeps ears nice and warm...

I use the earband in warmer cold weather down to 30, then opt for the thin balaclava. I live in the upper midwest, and got mine at Menards, a home improvement boxstore. It's so big it has a small flock of birds living inside...The store, not the balaclava...

Duluth Trading coolmax do-rag. Under that a silk Balaclava from Winter Silks. I use a waterproof helmet cover all winter to shed the wet and stop wind from infiltrating. You do have to make a winter adjustment on the chin straps. The inbetween times as Fall and Spring are the worst. It was 64*F here this AM and about 38 F this afternoon with wind and light rain. I carry lots of extra gear this time of year.

Wally Worlds hunting department. Super thin balaclava made for archery hunters works great down to "really cold". You will have to live with camo however. If it gets too warm you can just roll it up on your dome like a skull cap since it is thin.

I have three balaclavas of different weights for different temps. If it's really cold, I add a turtle fur head band. I tried a Gore headband to cover my ears (about $30...), and it reduced my hearing so much that I only used it twice.

Keep your core protected, and your extremities will stay warmer.

I always wear a cycling cap.

I have several of these: https://www.landsend.com/pp/ThermaChe...s&origin=index they are lightweight, and don't take up any room under a helmet. For bitterly cold weather, they are a great first layer for a woolen outer layer. Cheap, durable and washable.

I use a very thin wool ski cap. I don't remember the brand as I've had it for over 30 years. All I can say is it's a little thicker than T-shirt material, very tightly woven, and has a tag inside reading "100% Wool. Made in Norway."

I wear a thin Headsweat which is a light skull cap. Worked great last weekend in 35 degrees.
