Cold Weather reccomendations

The weather here in Scotland just took a hellish turn for the worst. Out riding this weekend the windchill was below zero. I keep nice and warm by using a couple of thin fleece layers below my top but what about your head?.

My helmet provides no protection whatsoever from the freezing wind. How you you folks keep your noggin warm in cold temperatures?

I actually took my helmet off and just put a woolen beanie hat on. Not reccomended when the roads are icy.

cheers...

We just ride a little faster on the 1 or 2 mornings a year when this is a problem (although this isn't sunny Scotland here, hehe.)

I use an earband when it gets a bit cold, and when it gets even colder a thin skullcap that fits under my helmet. Descriptions of both, and pics are here

Lycra skullcap for cold days, full face balaclava for real cold days.

I never feel cold in had so I always use just woollen ear band!

Thanks everyone,

thats given me a great idea. Now, if i can only find a supplier in the UK I'll be sorted.
