Thinner beanies or balaclavas are ideal for skiers, as they allow the helmet to still fit properly. They also give you the added benefit of an extra warm layer on your head, which provides added comfort and warmth throughout the day.

Wearing a thin moisture-wicking beanie or skull cap is ideal under a ski helmet. Make sure it fits comfortably without causing pressure points. Avoid bulky items that can affect helmet fit and safety.

Good options include skull caps, balaclavas, or low-profile beanies. These items will keep you warm and help you manage sweat. Look for materials like polyester or Polartec Windbloc Fleece, as they greatly regulate your temperature. Make sure not to wear anything too bulky, as it could affect how well your helmet protects you.

Many skiers prefer to wear hats under their helmets, especially at colder ski resorts. However, with limited space under the helmet, you must opt for thinner hats. For a minimal layer under the helmet, a jersey-type skullcap provides additional warmth without bulk. For extremely cold days, balaclavas or long tube hats fit under helmets.
