What is a cycling head warmer?
Call it a beanieor or cycling hat; this fantastic clothing accessory does what it says on the biscuit tin - it keeps your head warm! Typically made from windproof, thermal, moisture-wicking fabric, the kit is designed to retain heat. It is never too bulky, as it needs to sit neatly under your bike helmet. If you pull it low over your ears, just be sure you can still easily hear everything around you - there’s no point sacrificing safety.
When do I wear cycling head warmers?
It all depends on how easily you feel the cold. Most cyclists will opt to cover their heads during the depths of winter. However, an extra layer under the helmet can also be handy during those trans-seasonal months when the body is still adjusting to the weather changes. An alternative during these milder months could be headbands or bandanas.
A cycling head warmer may also be helpful on windy days, minimising the brutal feel of those chills that can rip through you like ice if you’re not properly dressed for the occasion!
How do I wear cycling head warmers?
Easy - just put it on your head, place your helmet on top, and off you go. You may need to make some slight adjustments to your helmet straps so that the gear isn’t squeezing too much.
