just love Buffs I've two; a polar and a summer one. I often wear the summer one as a bandana in winter, it's warm and stops the sweat running into my eyes

I've been wearing a little lycra beanie thing, look like a complete doofus but I tell myself it just makes me look more like a pro

I also wear gloves because I can't stand having cold hands (and I've ALWAYS got cold hands)

I'm a running cap wearin' kinda guy.

I'm not bald, my hair just shrinks every time I wash it!

In the cold, I need a hat. In the summer, I need a hat to protect my head from sunburn.

I also don't like the glare in my eyes, so the peak is essential for me.

I don't like wearing a hat, I have a thick head of hair and I just get too warm after a while and have to carry it...

I do wear one when it is *really* cold though

During the really cold weather we've had, I've been wearing a Thinsulate hat, my hair has been dry when I've taken it off as the hat has wicked the sweat away, while keeping my head warm. So, when I've done my run and taken my hat off, I've not been cold.

I noticed that I maybe ought to get a hat when I ran and my hair was frozen!

You carry your hair? Isn't that a wig
