ears hurt with wind ....

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

what do you girls recommend? have any of you ever used the swimmers ear plugs to keep the wind out?? thanks

I bought myself some polar fleece from the local fabric shop and made a headband with "flaps" to cover my ears. The flaps get held in place by the straps of the helmet .... works fine.

I just rearrange my hair so that it covers my ears as it's pulled back into my ponytail. You might want to try that if your hair is long/thick enough

Several companies make things specifically for ears. Here is an example of one that works great under helmets. http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=48028672&parent_category_rn=40003704&vcat=REI_SEARCH
