Hats and Neckerchiefs for Walkers

Hats and neckerchiefs for walkers to protect from sun and rain and keep your head warm or cool.
Best Ways to Keep Your Ears Warm
I get painfully cold ears when walking. I have found a variety of ways to keep my ears warm while also wearing earphones and sunglasses. The following give a great variety for keeping your ears warm in cold weather.
Sub4 DryLyte Extreme Cold Hat

Buff and Polar Buff
"Survivor" popularized the versatile Buff. You can get it half Polartec fleece, half microfiber or all microfiber. Either way, you can wear it as a headband, as a cap that comes over the ears, as a balaclava, a dozen ways.
