Winter running hats?

[Rambis]

Anyone have any suggestions for a cold weather hat. I am usually to warm and the hat goes in the pocket after about a mile maybe two.
I have a C9 target brand that gets wet pretty quickly-
Fleece way to hot even at 0 degrees F
Regular stocking hat same thing to warm
Got a Nike baseball type hat for now 35-40 F but when it gets in the 10-20 degrees F that isn't going to work.

I need a moisture wicking hat but I can't decide between the Saucony,Brooks Pearl Izumi Salomon

thanks

It looks like they have some winter running hats too.

I like to order from their grab bag (they all have the Ironman logo on them) because they're cheap. I think you get 3 moisture wicking hats for about $25. (At least that's how much they cost the last time I bought them.)

3. I never ever wear a hat, just a ski headband/ear warmer.

Even when it's below zero, if you're working properly almost any hat besides a thin running-specific one is too much. I opt for my ratty 20-year old fleece headband in anything below 30 degrees, it doesn't overheat when it's warm but still keeps the important bits toasty when it's cold. Course, it's all dependent on having the rest of you well-insulated, if you don't have an array of vests, shells, varying fleeces and thermal tech tops you might be better off (financially at least) just getting a hat.

4. I've got all that gear

I am also a slaphead so going without a hat at 10 degrees and below worrys me a bit. I usually end up taking what hat I do have on and off, flipping and folding it like a beanie before it goes into a pocket. Might try the headband thing.

5. Maybe a do-rag underneath a headband?

I get the exposed skin worries...some super-thin material to keep the wind off would probably be a good idea for sure. But beyond that, any insulation gets too much for me after 15 or twenty minutes regardless of the temp. Even the headband can get warm for me when it's double-digits, been thinking about those behind-the-head minimalist earmuff things.

6. Wondered about those?

If anyone has tried the behind-the-head minimalist earmuff things let me know? They look like they might squeeze my head too much that is why I haven't tried them. Cheers

7. I've worn them and they don't squeeze at all

Just never for running. I suspect they'd be ideal for 15+ degrees, where my headband can start to make my forehead and the back of my neck uncomfortably warm. If the weather here ever drops (66 today!) I'll probably try them.
