Biking

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

I ride my bike for exercise. Even in mild winters in the Southeast, my ears get really cold from wind whistling past them. I also wear glasses. I use my earbags when I am wearing my glasses and my bike helmet. They don't keep all the wind out, but it makes my rides much more comfortable. They are not perfect -- with a bike helmet, the earpieces of my glasses, and the earbags, it's still a bit uncomfortable -- but I've found that these work better than the 180s style ear warmers, or wearing a hat under my helmet.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

The first pair I bought in Switzerland on a ski trip. They were wonderful, but I lost them! I am now on my third pair and they do not match, as I have lost one of each of the last two pairs. But I think they are wonderful and will buy a fourth, because they are hard to find. I keep them in my pack or the pocket of jacket I am wearing. So much more comfortable than the new back of neck ear muffs. My only criticism is that they are easy to knock off when removing clothing.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

Love my earbags! They are light weight, yet keep my ears so warm. I love them because they are easy to carry I have one in each pocket, I slip them on when it is cold out and my hair covers them so nobody even knows I have earmuffs on. No more hat head. My husband also loves them since they do not have that band around the back of the neck. A Great Find!!!

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

I can wear them with my out them interfering with my glasses or hair. No more ear problems from weather. No itching of the face. Does Not interfere with my hearing!
I have only used the original Earbags for a couple of years now. Wind, rain and cold, they are great.I have not been in the snow with them but I have been in weather cold enough for snow.
I might try the Thinsulated Earbags next.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

Ear bags are good for mid50s to low 40s in Michigan. Temperatures lower than that they are not really that warm and the wind goes through them. They are good for walking the dog on chilly fall/spring mornings. If I do not wear something on my ears I get sick and these help prevent those painful, Michigan cold wind ear/headaches without being too heavy or too warm for weather. They can fit under a hat too, which is what I sometimes did on chillier days.

They are a little bit to large for my ears, so I do not think I could wear them for any type of physical exertion except dog walking. They go on your ears & there is a way they kind of "pop" to keep in place on your ears. I put mine in a drawer and I think I bent it, so the one doesn't snap into place properly anymore, but I had those for about 2 years, & totally my fault they got bent and so today I am ordering another pair.

They are not as warm as those things that go behind your head but they are less annoying. In "real" winter, I use shearling earmuffs +/- hat.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

I think these are the greatest addition to scarves and gloves without being bulky over the head warmers. They fit in my pocket and go on easily. They're perfect when I don't want to wear a hat and just need a little warmth on my ears. My ears get cold in the slightest chill, so these are very helpful. I haven't used them for actual sporting so I can't speak to their effectiveness. But for walking the dog, jogging in the neighborhood or running around town, they're wonderful.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

Earbags are lightweight and comfortable. I bought these to wear under my bike helmet in cool weather and they work very well. One could wear them under a ski helmet, also. I wouldn't recommend wearing them without a hat or helmet over them - if skiing or snowboarding as they would likely come off when going fast or falling. For walking, running, etc., they are secure. It's easy to forget they are on as they don't poke or pinch.

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

I got these before my ski trip last weekend. I love them! My ears tend to freeze, when I ski, despite whatever hat I wear. And, the ear warmers with the bands, tend to be too restrictive and would give me a headache. These fit great under my hat and kept my ears warm (and it was a cold n windy weekend for skiing where I was). They were so comfortable, I forgot I had them on, even when I took off my hat. I've already recommended them to my friends!

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

Free at last! -- that is, from the annoying connecting band on traditional (and 180) earmuffs. Ear Bags are not connected to each other. They are so benign and lightweight that I usually forget that I have them on; I just know that my ears are not cold. I'll never go back to the old way again!

Anytime ears are cold

Comments about Earbags Solid Color Ear Warmers:

Ear bags are amazing. I got some black ones from REI years ago. I had medium ones (they were a little lose) but my friend's boyfriend lost them when I handed them to him during a marathon so he gave me money to buy new ones. I got small in black and brown... they fit much more snug on my ears, which now keeps them warmer.

So many people ask me what they are and where I got them. Great for wearing when running, even with small pockets on cycling tanks/jerseys they fit into the back pocket with ease when not in use. I carry a pair with me in my purse where ever I go during the winter in case my ears get cold.

The only thing that bothers me a little is that I have a cartilage earring and after wearing them for an extended period of time it hurts since they are pinching your ears to hold themselves on. Other than that they are the best things since thumb holes in long sleeved shirts.
