Ahh, cold ear lobes and non-consistently-positioning cycling hads. I thought it was just me. I've given up on tuques and beanies -- they don't stay put and gradually expose the ears. Ditto for head bands. Tried ear warmers, but those look dorky and complicate the fit of a hat. Finally "discovered" faux-Peruvian knit caps with (1) earflaps and (2) little wooly below-chin ties. Dorky? Yes, but they work. I got a trash-wool/syntho model from Target for $12 and an acrylic-cum-fleece for sub $10.
Walz has, or had, a nice baggy cycling cap with pull-down "ear band: rather than flaps, but even that will require a sub-chin tie. Ditto the custom I had made by Little Package . com. (All my cotton cycling caps have elastic loops that fit behind my pony tail -- otherwise they fly off in a strong wind: lost a very nice retro Campy cap that way on a windy commute home.)
