dry heads & softshells

[7rider]

What do you use under your helmet to keep your head dry?

I go under the helmet for warmth...over the helmet for dry.
I have one of these (but an older model) for wet-weather rides. I did the Seagull Century in Maryland in '06 in the rain, and the top of my head was the only dry thing!

I've never tried a helmet cover, but I wear a Buff cut in half when it's not too cold, a Buff folded in two down to about freezing (can cover ears or forehead as much as you like), and a Gore softshell helmet cap when it's cool+raining or below freezing. I like the cap a lot, not bulky but cuts the wind completely, but I can't hear a thing when I'm wearing it. I rode home yesterday with a friend of mine, and we were both wearing these caps, yelling at each other the whole way...

I have two Louis Garneau balaclavas. They are silky and stretchy, not clumsily thick.
You can pull them around to cover your chin or not, etc, and if it gets really cold I put the second one on as well, it slides nicely over the first one. If I get a bit warm with just the one on, i can even just pull the top down in back of my head and use it as a nice silky neck gaiter to just keep my neck warm. It's not waterproof though, just for warmth.

You might need to get some wool glove liners from smartwool or Ibex etc, to put under your new gloves when it gets really cold.
Fingers and toes get the coldest of all your parts- they need the heavy protection.
