I use a hard-hat liner. It covers my ears and keeps them warm, and is thin enough to go under my helmet. For really cold places you can get warm packs to put in the ear flaps. Also, they're really really cheap ($3 to $5), and mine has a reflective stripe. If it's raining, this is water-resistant, and will eventually get wet. But I've ridden through heavy rain for hours and not had real problems. (I have a Bell X-ray helmet)

I think this is the liner I have, but there is a wide variety out there:

The boyfriend (who regularly wears both hardhats and bike helmets) has this one, and it is very cute and stylish, methinks (I like the green quilting):

I bought a headband from Terry, thinking it would be cooler than my skullcap. I specifically bought it from Terry, because I have a little head and their stuff tends to fit me better. I wore it once and I couldn't hear at all and it seemed much warmer than my skullcap, which I generally put on in the forties or low fifties if it's windy. The headband looks thin, but it must be made of some super material, because I don't think I can wear it and safely ride. The skullcap I have is a cheaper one from Performance that used to be my son's. It really doesn't mess up my hair and it's really thin.
