Deacon Patrick - there are degrees of confusion. When I fail to recognize that my sheep-wearing friend would never be looking at a pile hat I need to slow down a wee bit. Also known as the challenge of taking a look at the list while working on something else. My best to both Patricks. Bob On Mon

Thanks. I've looked at these before, and I have a few worries: Do they stay on securely? I have small ears with lobes attached (securely) to skull. Don't you end up losing one of the pair? This morning it was 25*F when I left the house, and, while I should have worn a balaclava, instead, I used

You wear baked honey, nuts, spices, and phyllo dough on your head? That's a unique approach to staying warm and blocking wind! Not to mention mid-ride fueling needs. Grin. With abandon, Patrick, who takes a balaclava in his panniers "just in case" On Sunday, December 18, 2016 at 8:09:58 AM UTC-

That might just do it; wasn't aware of it -- thanks. However, I will look further before buying (possum guilt trip notwithstanding -- yes, I know it's a joke) because even with this hat I'd need a chin strap, as I do on the Walz. And I don't really like balaclavas, unless the temp is guaranteed to
