I can't wear a hat underneath the helmet? I am used to snowmobiling with my ski hat on, but I guess the snowmobiling helmet's have alot more room inside.

Will the helmet keep my head and ears warm?

You could wear a hat if your helmet is too big. It won't be a good fit or be as effective though. A helmet will keep your head plenty warm, sometimes too warm, thats why its good to have some sort of ventilation adjustment on the helmet you choose.

Most ski helmets are designed to be worn alone with no hats. Many have some insulation value and ventilation. I have NEVER been cold in my Boeri Axis helmet, but I have been too hot in it before! That said, one could wear a helmet liner of sorts on the coldest of days if they wanted.

never wear a hat with a helmet. if you are able to fit a hat under your helmet, your helmet is way to big. you can wear head socks (can't remember their proper name) under your helmet providing they are pretty thin. most people complain about helmets being warmer than hats. while i have found the opposite to be true for the giro9, very rarely do i need to switch the helmet for a hat when it's extra cold out.
