I'm training for a half marathon so I'm doing a lot of running outside. I have an ear warmer headband right now (not sure what brand) that doesn't stay on my ears/head very well, especially when I'm running with ear buds in. I would love some suggestions for things that have worked for fellow runners, whether it's an ear warmer headband or something comparable.

Also, hats don't work very well for me because I wear my pony tail up high and my hair is so long that wearing it inside a hat is either too big or the hairs sits on my neck which isn't comfortable for me while running.

    I have some simple ones from UnderArmour that stay in place and wick sweat too. I have no idea where or when I got them but they work. I don't like hats either just because as I warm up I can move the earwarmers around to cool off where as a hat blocks all the excess heat I build up.

    John Lewis have ear Warner's for men with earphones built in. They are reduced to £5 in the sales at the mo. The men's ear Warner's fit around the back of the head rather than the top so great if you wear a cycling helmet.

    I was actually looking at some under armour ones from ****'s the other day. They're a little expensive, but if they stay on then I'm sure they'd be worth it.

    They do make running hats with a hole for your ponytail. I have one that I got at Road Runner Sports (they are online as well). I tend to just wear a baseball hat and wear a top with a hood because I run in the morning and headlights blind me.

    A buff? You know, those cylinders if light cloth that can be used as neck earners, headbands, scarves etc. very versatile.

    I''m Cheap. Every winter I usually go to the Dollar store and pick up one of those glove/headwarmer sets. Don't wear the gloves for running, I get the cheap one-size-fits-all black gloves from the dollar store. One pair, two pair if it is cold. Works for me.
