Suggestions, for hat to wear when it's raining that will keep headphones dry?

Wow, am I beginning to do things right, have now ditched the sandals and the deer hat! ;)

I hate the thought of wearing a hat in the rain but concerned about my headphones getting wet, so what do others wear?

Cheers for any suggestions.

I don't like exercising in hats because I find my head gets too warm- but I always have cold ears (they are the sticking out variety).

I've found a 'Buff' (or similar) works really well.

It is like a tube of material that can be folded, rolled or twisted in numerous combinations so it can be a headband, sweatband, hat, scarf and I've even seen someone turn it into a balaclava.

You can find them quite cheaply if you don't fancy shelling out for the branded version so it's worth giving it a go to see if it works for you.

All the best!

Do you wear headphone or earphones?

what about cheaper headphones?

I have run several times in heavy rain with no effect on my earphones

Ummmmmm, because my existing ones are too big, am waiting for these to arrive, Philips Shs3200/10 Ear Hook Headphones £9.

Looking at them again, there should not be too much of a problem, as they go slightly into the ear.

Hey flann, we are going to have to stop meeting like this............... ;)

My morning was a real non-starter but things got better mid-morning when I decided to open the headphones regardless.

Very pleased, comfortable and not that noticeable either, look forward to using them when I go out.

Appreciate your comments. :)
