Winter Ear Muffs For Men

The best ear muffs will more than just keep the winter out of your ears- they'll keep the warmth in. Similar to a pair of mittens in what they do, whilst they may not look great, at least they're comfortable and practical.

Let's face it ... who really looks good walking around with what looks a bit like two tea bags lodged in your ears?

Still, rain ice and snow never did care about fashion and when it comes to keeping warm on a cold winters day, we're all square when it comes to wearing ear warmers.

Nothing's quite so uncomfortable as trying to keep your extremities warm and for sure a good old pair of ear mitts will combat the worst of the chills.

Amazon stock a pretty good range and this article will feature the top selling winter ear muffs.

Cool Ear Muffs

If you want cool ear muffs then you need the EarPro Fleece Ear Warmers. They're a simple wrap-around design, nothing special or fancy about them.

They manage a decent enough three star rating, though there are a few grumbles about the size of the mitts. Still - this is a product that retails at under $7, so it's fair to say that they're not going to tick every box for everyone.

Crafted out of fleecing, they're available in a range of colors and the manufacturer claim is that they fit from older kids to adults.

One of the gripes relates to them being a bit too big for some adults, so if you're looking for kids ear muffs - stick with the kids sizes.

If you're looking for a bog-standard pair of winter ear warmers then they'ill do the job you need them to do. They won't look pretty but then - neither will a pair with a Burberry label on them.

Next a pair of fancy looking mitts, the Fleece Ear Mitts Bandless Ear Muffs 100g ThinsulateTM Insulation & DuPontTM Teflon®.

Fancy because they're bandless, meaning you can wear them under hats and other head gear. You know - they lack a band. They fit straight onto your ear, securely enough to keep out the wind and other winter nasties.

They also fit into pockets, purses and the like, so you're always good to go when you're caught out in the snow or whatever else is raining down from the heavens.

They're manufactured from 100 gram ThinsulateTM Insulation from 3M, which translates to 'very warm' and have a DuPontTM Teflon® fabric protector - which is another way of saying that they're water proof.

Washable, nifty, available in eight different colors, they're cheap, effective and none too bad when it comes to ear muffs.

The top ear muffs for men are the 180s Men's Arctic Eco Ear Warmer. More expensive than the previous two products, these are the male bad boys.

They posses a full five star customer rating so they've at least at least got that going for them. They're actually classed as a gender neutral product, though they're bought for guys as a rule. They definitely don't come in pink.

Available in black, blue and brown, they're a good, solid design, filled with warming good stuff such as a fleece shell, a decent level of insulation (100% Polyester Eco Primaloft) and they're lined to boot.

From a guys perspective - they look male. To me they do. If you're looking for some guy style ear muffs, the Arctic Eco's may still make you look like a teddy bear but at least they'll keep your ears warm.

The most popular style of ear muffs for women are the 180s Women's Aspen Ear Warmer. Potentially the best looking ear warmers so far, but that's probably more to do with the color than anything else.

They also come in black and raspberry, so should appeal to most of the ladies out there that are looking for some respite from winter winds whipping at their ears.

If I were a woman I'd probably say something like -

"they'll look great with a matching pair of mitts, not to mention a chic winter scarf. Come on girls, you know these are the one's you want to stash awat in your purses"

But I'm not so I won't. In fairness, they're well made, wind-resistant, lined and insulated so at least you'll know that whilst you may not look too hot in them, you won't be going cold behind your ears either.

If it's a pair of fur ear muffs you'll be wanting, then the Zebra Faux Fur Ear Muffs will suit.

A bit more vibrant looking for those that like a bit of sass. Or maybe it's pizazz?

Who knows. Still, they are kinda cute looking as ear mitts go and who could resist a woman all bundled up in a pair of furry ear warmers?

They're 100% US manufactured (tick) and I don't think I'm far wrong when I say that the warmth factor is definitely included.

Happily I can report that no poor old Zebra was dragged off kicking and screaming, in order to that you get to tuck your ears up for winter.

At well under the $15 mark, what more could a woman want?
