Man, thanks for the share bro.  I'll have to check into that.  I always rock a skull cap in the winter months.  Those are some nice prices.   O0

Thanks Warhawk. Cool site.  I just bought 4 from there. LOL, they owe you a commission.

On really cold nights, or when I'm sick, I always want something warm on my head, and a ball cap just won't do the trick.  I'm a tough guy.  Never wear coats, almost never wear sweaters, but my head!!! Man, I'm wimpy when it comes to that big, shiny dome. 

On a completely unrelated note... the hummingbirds at my mom's house are attracted to my bald head!   :*))

I live in MN so the winter gets down there -40F.  So I was actually going to post this same question today so thanks.  I just have been wearing a normal winter stocking hat.  But it would be nice to have something to wear more around the house on those cold winter nights.  I will have to check out the link at the top.

When I was in Ohio, it got down to about 10-15 deg F.

Nothing like a cold breeze across the top of your head.

I just wore a hoodie under my winter jacket.

I miss the brutal Midwest winters. I find myself missing the sub-zero temperatures and icy cold wind in the morning.

Living in a climate where the coldest it gets in the winter is mid 40's and having to hear everyone complain on how "cold" it is, it gets pretty old. Plus, you learn to love the seasons individually when they are very prounounced.

I'm like "Low 40's is cold? Ever had to shovel your sidewalk in the middle of winter and the snot coming out of your nose freezes into a snotsicle in a matter of minutes?Ever had to pour boiling water over your water pipes to thaw them out due to the -20degree weather?

This will be my first winter with a (shaved) bald head and my first "winter" in AZ.
I'm not sure, but I think the temps go down to the 40's at night.
 
I always wore a knit hat/watch cap back in NY, and since I was keeping it buzzed down, you really felt those icy winds blow, especially off the East river and the harbor in downtown Manhattan.
I don't think I'll miss the ice and snow, but I will miss the cooler crisp days of the Fall there.

Well, it didn't get out of the 20s here today in beautiful Northern Illinois, yet I wasn't sporting any type of head gear... Hmmmmmmm...

Actually, I think the only time I wore a hat because of the cold, was the three week stretch last winter when the temps didn't get above zero and the wind chills were in the -20 to -30 range.

WarHawk!!! whats happening man  ;D, man I havent been on in a while, how are you doing. I personally just use a bennie to keep warm. but at night I have to shave it every night because I cant stand the "sand paper stumble". not only that but I love the feeling of a soft, smooth "sly" head. Now I just have to find a girl that likes smooth heads.... :-\ 8) ;D, I was told I look like "Hitman".

Hey Guys,

Remember that all of the heat in the homes will dry out the skin. When you combine that with the cold it can cause real problems. Remember to moisturize as often as possible or you will get dry, flakey and even irritated.
