Warm ears when hacking??

[AmieeT]

As the title says really- how do you keep your ears warm when riding?? I can deal with a cold nose (it's always cold lol) but my ears get so cold it hurts?
Tried a headband but couldn't get my hat on over it- don't fancy a looser hat for the sake of warm ears tho!
Anyone have a way to keep 'em toasty? X

Yes get these. Much better than anything else I've tried. I prefer this type to the other ones she sells, I've got both.

I bought a riding balaclava from Robinsons a few years ago. The neck and ear bit is made from a fleecy material but the bit that goes under the riding hat is a thin silky material. I think my daughter pinched it so I will have to invest in another one!

Just buy a merino buff and pull it up to cover your head. it is thin so won't change the fit of your hat in any meaningful way and it is warm. And breathable as it is a natural fibre.

I have made my own of them!!!! £7 for a yard of polar fleece and I have made three sets, well only one but the other two will be done soon, of the above, 8 sets of wrist warmers, two bigger ones for my dad, and a ear band.

I use these: http://www.nuumed.com/products/187-animal-print-ear-pads-ea09a

(but the plain ones, not the animal print ones)

I use a buff

This may not be the most helpful reply but it work for me I put my hair in two plaits over my ears, put my hat on and it keeps my hair out of the way and keeps my ears warm at the same time

A hat which is half a size too big & a headband.. Probably very naughty of me tho

I have one of these too, it's great, don't think it cost too much either.

Have you tried Helmet Ears? I purchased some for my friend for her birthday and she loves them! The lady who designed and created them in on Twitter @HelmetEars - I'd love some too as I get sore ears but haven't got the pennies at the moment for luxuries for me ( xx

 

[SuperCoblet]

FW- Just ordered some of these, thanks!

I have helmet ears too. They are fabby as attach to your hat so don't slip. I have the version which come with headphones so you can listen to music or phone people while riding. Here is the website: http://www.helmetears.com/

I use a fleece head band but push the front off my forehead onto the top of my head. Hat fits fine then.

I got a thin bandy thing for Christmas but before that I used a hoodie with a massive hood and pulled it up over my hat and tucked the side bits into the straps. I expect I looked ridiculous but it worked for me!

 

[Dusty85]

I also use a buff- I have two- one that is all a thin silky material (it has the powerpuff girls on, lol) and another one that half of it is fleece so that bit goes around my neck. They're great as you can pull them up around your nose too!

 

[ruth83]

I took one of those oversized fashion woolly hats that men wear and I put it over my hat like a silk and pull it down over my ears.

What a good idea!


*Scurries off to nearest primark*

My sister wraps her head in a scarf like the queen, and sticks her hat over the top... Scarves are usually the thin ones from places like Primark.

Does anyone use the audio ones with an iPhone 5s and does it work correctly. Rather tempted.

 

[ameeyal]

I wear a thin cloth alice band, I cover my ears with it and its thin enough for my hat to go over it.

 

[Red-1]

Tried loads of things, found a motorcycle Buff to be the best. Thin so does not affect hat fit, tight weave for non windy ears, can pull up over nose or under chin.

 

[AmieeT]

Thanks everyone! I will definitely be giving these a go! Probs start with the cheapest and work my way through them all lol
Really appreciated, thanks all 😊 x

Buffs are brill as a balaclava, ear warmers, headband, bobble, scarf, hat. Deffo worth every penny

 

[JustMeThen]

I've got something along these lines and it's good...
