cold weather and ears question

[Koronin]

If it starts getting chilly at all I have to wear something over my ears to keep them from hurting. Issue I've had for years with cold weather and wind. I grew up in Ohio and as soon as it started getting chilly and there was any wind I had to get out either earmuffs or winter type hats to protect my ears. I'm thinking earmuffs aren't going to work to well riding a bike, so I'm looking for suggestions on what I can wear. I did buy one of the headband type things to help protect my ears, but am looking for other ideas, esp for when it's like yesterday was (temps in the 30s to 40s and wind). Of course it was raining yesterday, so I didn't ride.

Seek out a buff as they're great for keeping ears warm on coolish days

Thanks for the suggestion. Now to find out if they'll ship to the US.

Whoops...I remembered that site from memory but Buffs are sold round the world .

It's alright. Thank you for the 2nd link, that definitely helps. I may get a couple, so I can have one just for riding and have a 2nd for wearing other times.

I've never worn a Buff.

If you can't find one at your LBS, they (or your local/chain outdoor outfitter) will definitely have balaclavas. That's my choice under a helmet - one that's stretchy enough that I can pull the eye hole under my chin when it warms up a little.

I think Buffs may be more versatile - they're so popular here - but balaclavas are easier to find.
