3. I never ever wear a hat, just a ski headband/ear warmer.

Even when it's below zero, if you're working properly almost any hat besides a thin running-specific one is too much. I opt for my ratty 20-year old fleece headband in anything below 30 degrees, it doesn't overheat when it's warm but still keeps the important bits toasty when it's cold. Course, it's all dependent on having the rest of you well-insulated, if you don't have an array of vests, shells, varying fleeces and thermal tech tops you might be better off (financially at least) just getting a hat.
