I still wear my Fox Flux helmet. I end up added a balaclava or just a skull cap depending on how chilly it is that day. I sometimes use the skull cap+balaclava below freezing temps. It can be a little chilly at first; but, I warm up pretty quick and sometimes have to pull down the balaclava or unzip my top a bit to regulate heat.

I’m able to switch lights from my mtb lid to a Giro snowboard helmet that I wear during colder nights. Both helmets have GoPro style mounts. The dual system that I currently use is from Outbound lighting. In the past I’ve also fitted a Cygolite Metro to either helmet but I find that OB Hangover/Trail Evo duo are unmatched in their performance.
It was 36° F tonight and much nicer. I wore my Carhartt Force Helmet Liner. While it was warmer than what I wore last night, I think I need to get one that is wind-resistant, first, before I switch helmets.
I got this ski helmet for $55
and these 1200 lumen lights for $20
and attached them with velcro to my winter and summer helmets. It is very light at 6g, very bright, and I have a spare. I highly recommend them.
I wear a balaclava under either helmet The Smith snow helmet at 67cm is much smaller than my Specialized Align II Mips Helmet
helmet is at 62cm.

Nice combination.

I wear a heavier USGI tanker balaclava when it gets really cold, and for the winter I cover over my forward facing helmet vents with painter's tape. The tape works very well despite its thinness.

Has anyone tried a foil hat?
Thin enough to fit under a bike helmet, windproof, excellent at recycling radiative heat losses, itself recyclable, and very effective at blocking those pesky alien mind probes.
