Suggestions for keeping my ears from freezing?

Really felt the wind today on my ears. I could try run with a beanie, but it seems that it would get too hot. Wearing one of my daughter's fluffy ear-muffs would probably work ... but would look absurd on a forty-something dad! :-P

So what is everyone else wearing?

A buff...............can be a hat, a scarf, a handwarmer, whatever you want it to be.

definitely a buff. my head gets too hot but my ears freeze and i find these are great and the bonus is they keep your earbuds in :)

Go with the fluffy ear muffs!! They sound pretty cool!

I have a buff but use it for my neck mostly. I also have a sweat band with headphones in that keep my ears nice and snug and play me tunes along the way!

I have several ‘buffs’ from Sea Salt that I use to keep my hair out of my eyes & ears warm. Not sure if they do men’s ones. I also use them for gardening. They are made from organic cotton & wash well.

Buff as suggested...but my running Beanie does not cause overheating :)

I have a fleece beanie and that does the job without overheating, I also have a fleece headband, but as a chap there is a danger that you could end up looking like a Mark Knopfler wannabe 🎸🎸🤩

Yeah, aging rock star is perhaps not the best look to be going for! 😂

I’m currently wearing a beanie but Im running at 6.30am when it’s about 4 or 5 degrees, it’s not too bad

Hmm, I'd thought a full beanie might be too hot, perhaps I need to give it a try.

My Bluetooth earphones keep my ears warm

I use a headband that I bought in Decathlon. Keeps my ears warm and also holds my earphones in place otherwise they would fall out.

Yes, I think I might need to take another trip to Decathlon. Any excuse, eh?
