Re: [RBW] Re: Cold weather hats with brims that keep your ears warm

[luckyturnip]

I don’t have any in fleece but I am a big fan of hats from Lugs Not Drugs, made by Zephyr Line (@zephylineworkshop)  And he currently has upcycled fleece hats.  I actually had a custom made by Zephyr just by messaging directly so you can probably get whatever you want made including ear flaps.  LugsNotDrugs on Instagram: "Upcycled fleece custom 4 panel unstructured caps are now in stock! Dark olive green fleece crown with a darkish salmon bill. The flexible bill is also a bit longer and wider for more coverage from the elements. Olive green sweatband. Multi-colored bungee cord and black button adjuster to get the fit just right. Huckleberry patch sewn on by hand. Made by @zephyrlineworkshop of Ohio.

For the coldest days, I do tend to wear an extra layer as well with a wool beanie or wool cycling cap liner that I got from the original Ibex brand a decade plus ago. -Justus Mpls, MN On Sunday, January 26, 2025 at 9:59:38 AM UTC-6 velomann wrote: Randi Jo Fabrications Wool Flip-up caps are my personal favorite. I wear them for cold weather cycling and cross country skiing. Oregon-made. https://randijofab.com/collections/caps/products/copy-of-wool-flip-up-caps I also have a couple Sheila Moon caps with ear flaps that work great. I mourn the death of that SF company - they made good stuff.

Watch caps/tuques/knit caps are warm, but I prefer something with a short brim to block sun and wind. I’ve got a several-model-years-old Pear Izumi stretch synthetic cap that is good to just below 40*F at our relatively high winter morning humidity levels but when temps approach freezing I need more ear protection. I also have an old Large Walz wool caps with ear flaps that is big enough to cover an Outdoor Research synthetic skull cap, and that works well down to the low 20s (when it approaches 20*F I wear a ND State Trooper’s hat from Fargo), but I’d like to get another winter cycling hat that has a brim and keeps my ears warm down to the upper teens, whether with or without the skull cap. I don’t like hoods. Note: I do not wear a helmet. Does anyone have a suggestion? URL? Aside: to vent: riding south this afternoon I came across a rather fat young man riding north on a small ICE motorcycle, tho’ he wasn’t going more than 25 mph. I felt the urge to do something but the encounter was too short for a plan. I daresay that any plan would have been fruitless or counter-productive anyway. Stupid city council who a few months ago legalized all kind of electric-assist 2-wheelers on our car-separated bike paths. I’m curious what others might do in this kind of situation: yell? Throw yourself athwart his path? Take an iPhoto and call the cops? Sign gravely and go on your way? Make fun of him on a bicycle discussion list? He wasn’t as fat as this, but he was short and on a small ICE motorbike with longish dark hair and beard. -- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, letters, and other writing services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When thou didst not, savage, know thine own meaning, But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish, I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
