When to wear a hat, like so many apparel choices, varies from runner to runner. We’ve all heard that a lot of body heat is lost through your head. To some runners, this fact means that they always want something on their head. But other runners, especially those who produce a lot of heat, know that this fact means that if they wear a hat, then their hair will get wet with sweat. When this happens, your hair can freeze, and you’ll be a lot colder than if you didn’t have a hat on. For about $25, you can find hats made of materials with wicking qualities to solve this dilemma.
Another good compromise is to wear a band that just covers your ears. This band protects your ears, which can be especially susceptible to frostbite, but it also allows you to blow off a little steam.
