Does anyone find that when they run with a cap on they get too hot? Ive always run with one on but do tend to get very hot and my partner mentioned to me after my race yesterday that i should run without one coz then all the excess heat can get out. It probably sounds obvious but thought i'd ask anyway:d .

I wear one sometimes, but yes the heat gets trapped and you get hot. I used to wear one so nobody would recognise me trying to run! But I feel that I have come a long way since then. I wear one sometimes to keep my hair under control, coz it it's windy it comes out of my ponytail or if its absolutely P***ing it down to keep the rain off my head. I expect a few of the 'baldies' wear one, but then they don't have the added problem of hair making you even hotter.

Don't normally wear one, but a baseball cap lives in my bumbag along with a jacket in case of rain. The visor keeps rain off my jam jars. Because I sweat an awful lot I always wear a headband which I can wring out at the end of a run - much to my partners disgust!
Cheers!

I used to wear a baseball cap aswell but found it a nightmare on windy days, I just use wide hair bands to keep my hair back. :d

i have different caps for different conditions!

on longer runs i find i wear one to start with till i get warmed up, then take it off, but often need to put it on later in the run when i've slowed a bit and start getting cold again!

Wore a cap when I started running but found that I got so hot it was giving me bad headaches, ditched the cap soon afterwards.

I've got an Adidas climalite one - I think it's designed for running. It's very light and allows breathing whilst the sweat drips away off the peak corners. Cost me about 11 quid. I bought it for summer only because I get cold ears in the winter and usually wear a hat. Whilst we're on the subject, can anybody shed any light on whether specialist running hats are any better than my cheap wooly hats from Poundzone?

I used to wear a cap but, as others have said, I too found that I got too hot with it on and therefore spent my time carrying it!

I sometimes wear a beany style.It does get hot but I've got big ears and without one they get cold

 

[Stotty]

Ha so have i especially when i put my hair in a pony tail, they dont half sting when its cold.

 

[Fulmar]

I wear a cap when it rains or snows A LOT to keep my eyes clear.

 

[LEECE]

I dont like the feel of hats all together they feel too restricted and hot, makes my head itchy

Even skiing in Canada i hated wearing one and my ears nearly fell off because how cold it was :d

 

[Granty]

Surely a pair of designer ear muffs should have been worn ! :d

 

[LEECE]

headband came in handy at times. :d

even then it makes me itchy

:d

God i remember furry ear muffs in the 80's (brings back memories)

 

[LEECE]

actually talking about hats, we had competition one year to see who could get the best hat

i got a Reindeer one (toy not real) complete with antlers ... that looked good going downhill :d

I've just noticed Granty is a moderator.......

I have a special running cap, which has vents to allow some of the heat to escape. I mostly wear it in the summer to protect my head from the sun (I'm ridiculously fair skinned) but I get hot and sweaty no matter what I wear.

Buffs are really good as they are really versatile - you can wear them as a hat, hair band, handkerchief etc.

Ideally suited really !! - generally nothing better to do throughout the day
