Source for durable and WARM earmuffs?

November 17, 2011 3:18 PM

Where can I find durable and WARM earmuffs?

My favorite pair of earmuffs gave up the ghost today and, with winter coming, I need a replacement soonest. Can't recall where these came from.

Looking for WOOL earmuffs as I have found that human-made materials don't stay as warm. Bonus for durability as they are used almost daily through the winter.

Please help! Cold weather is setting in and I look awful with hat hair.

This requires some additional information. Are you male or female? What shape earmuffs are you looking for?

I have a pair of Ugg shearling earmuffs that are hella warm, but they are for the ladies. They were a gift and I thought they were pretty silly looking, but I wore them anyway because they are warm, and I actually have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

Response by poster: Hi Naoko: I am female. I am looking for round earmuffs...actually I didn't know they came in other shapes. Thanks for the heads up on the Ugg earmuffs....they look great and really warm.

I guess I was thinking of the shape of those contrasted with something like this - but I guess that would be more of "ear warmers" than "earmuffs" anyway.

Obviously the Ugg ones are pretty obscenely expensive - I probably wouldn't have bought them myself - but there may be something similar but more reasonable out there....?
