Being hair challenged, I need more head covering then most.  During cold weather I use/wear two or three at the same time.  I have and use the following: KOM bomber (the warmest), Gray Wolf Bomber (I use this one the most), wool watch caps, fleece balaclava’s (made by my wife), wool/synthetic ski Balaclava’s (full head but open faced), neck gaiters, and scarf’s (Silk).  I mix and match combinations of these as the weather dictates.  One note, both the KOM and GW bomber are large enough to fit over the other head coverings and are insulated wind stops.  The biggest drawback with this setup’s is the loss/decrease of hearing but I’d rather be warm and deaf then cold and able to hear.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

If I'm moving around, say bunny hunting or still hunting, I go with a wool watch cap.  If I'm stand hunting, I pull a Fratzke knit hat over that (I like the camo pattern.).  When the wind is really howling, I remove the Fratzke and wear a hood.  On stand during cold weather, I also usually wear a neck gaiter or scarf.

Heck, all I have is a regular old full face toboggan that is reversible from camo to blaze orange. It works well, all except for making my head itch!
