I have 2 buffs, one regular sized and one junior. Even the junior one has a bit too much material for me, but I wear it in the early spring and fall. However, I am not so coordinated with the tying and folding and I basically wear it one way. I have a couple of unisex skull caps that are OK for the 50's, but my favorite cold weather head gear is a very old, thin fleece skull cap that was my son's, when he was junior racer. I guess my head is the size as a 14 year old? It comes down over my ears nicely. I have 2 balaclavas. A Terry one that is fleece and is so warm, I can only wear it when it's below 35 or so, and a Craft one that is made of thinner material. I can actually wear the fleece skull cap over that. But, I have a problem with balaclavas in general, in that I start to feel like I am suffocating. And I don't even put the thing over my mouth unless it is really cold.
I cannot hear well in any of these things, especially since I have a slight hearing loss in my left ear. It bugs me. I can hear traffic, but if I am riding with someone, I am constantly saying "what?" when they talk to me. It drives me crazy.
