keeping ears warm

I'm hoping to keep my bike commute going through part of the winter.
Does anyone have suggestions for keeping ears warm ?? I've tried a
head/ear band, but that doesn't fit well between my helmet and glasses
-- keeps pressing my glasses down uncomfortably into my nose. I don't
think it is cold enough yet for a balaclava; do they make narrower
earbands for this purpose for cyclists ?? I have the same problem
running if I wear the earband and a hat.

Thanks,

MTN

Check your local bike shop. They should have skull caps and
head bands (with ear covers) designed to fit under helmets.

If you can find them, there are ear warmers that attach to a
helmet's straps. There's one listed on this page:

I've never used them, a helmet cover is enough to keep me warm
around here.

My mom gave me some Wind Pro "180s" that I've never worn, (I just wear a
balacl.)

Thanks to you I've got them on, with the bike helmet, just to check (thanks
alot! lol). They seem like they'd do the job. Fit under the kind of helment
with the rotary dial to chinch under cranium in back, clearance OK, straps
don't need adjusted under chin, sunglasses not jammed into side of head.

Looks funny, but that could just be me. ;-D

Howdy,

I am not sure why, but I do know that my helmets came with
instructions saying that nothing should be worn beneath them...

All the best,

Howdy,

You could fold the earband in half...

All the best,

I got a pair of those clip on earmuffs without a headband. They work find
under a helmet.

new helmet! ;-D
