Anyone got the skinny on a good skullcap for cold weather?
I have an assortment of cheap Wal-Mart Sockcaps, and a full face Under Armor style ski-mask. Looking for something that will keep my nogin warm along with my ears. Something that will wick moisture, and that is not real itchy. What say you? |

I live in Northern Maine and it gets a little cool here in the winter. I am also bald so I like a warm cap to keep the head toastie. i found the Boby Armor pull on just the ticket. It is low profile and you will not find any warmer.

Cold for here anyhow.
Its 28deg outside today. We will see mid 20s. Dont get much colder than that. |
|
Sorry I don't know much about cold weather gear.
Try an Fudd cap. No kidding try it. |
|
It was 66 degrees out the other morning.. I was freezing my ass off and looking at the assholes that had their field jackets in envious contempt

I wear a Carhartt similar to the one pictured above. Mine is made of fleece and has ear coverage.
Does the trick for me here in DFW. |

It kept me plenty warm while snowboarding in Alaska (can't get much colder than that!) It was an all black one I got from REI for like 20 bucks. NOTHING beats merino wool for keeping you warm! |

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. |

I find that in winter time the heavy duty tinfoil works for me. in milder weather the off brand regular tinfoil is a good compromise between price points and protection.

These work great in -10 weather. Before anyone starts, Arizona has high 12000 foot mountains with lots of snow.

Yes. It's what I wear as well. It's tough enough for Wisconsin winters, trust me. Carhartt FTW. ETA: Wait a second...you're in LA. What do you need a warm hat for? |

Not the rabbit. The rabbit sheds and you'll be spitting bits out constantly. The very definition of Teh Suck. I've worn a trapper/bomber style shearling hat for some years now. It's ugly and people give me some weird looks, but I'm warm so fuck them Keeping the ears/back of neck warm helps a LOT. |
