Helmets/keeping your head warm in Winter.

[widowmaker]

I've been out on the bike in the freezing conditions, I was toastie warm apart from the old noggin

Under my helmet I wear a skull cap which just about covers the ears, a snood but always feel the cold on my head.

What do you hardy winter riders use ?

 

[jonnyboy666]

i find a normal buff does the job, over the ears or not depending on how cold it is, never felt the need for anything more

No less than a retrobike branded snood does the trick.

Should you need one I know just the man.



Failing that a thin beanie type hat that covers my ears

Buff over head, really cold then double it over. Another round the neck that meets the one in my head.

 

[widowmaker]

It sounds like I'm just too soft

Or maybe I ride too fast.

I'll try the snood over the head recommendations and report back.

I go bare, I'll get my coat...

Same as many. Buff on head pirate style. If it's really cold one round the neck pulled up to create balaclava with head buff. If it mental cold I do have thicker versions with breather holes plus my hood will go over my helmet & still turn with my head.

You better before you freeze to death...

I do have a second lid that's a size to big (got the wrong size) that I'll put a hat under on the trails but not on the road or hills.

As @Markybeau said look no further than:

For Sale - Retrobike snoods/buffs - still available (A FEW BLUE ONES NOW TOO)

After a cock-up by the supplier, I've ended up with some extra black snoods. I've listed the UK posted prices below, though I'm also happy to send overseas at buyers cost. For transparency, please note that these are being sold at the same price as the original batch, though I purchased them at...

www.retrobike.co.uk

I’m a baldy with sticky-outie-ears and they work well. I bought x2, one for the neck and one for me baldy head.

Also you can tape over vents on your helmet...
