Q. Someone who is careful during Shabbos not to even scratch his hair or ruffle his beard as a precaution for not tearing his hair similar to avoid combing.
Can he use during the very cold and windy days of winter a cap or a tight headgear, since it may also involuntarily tear some hair? How about a regular hat that is tightly placed over one’s head?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is to be lenient since you do not have any intention or benefit of tearing any hair and it is also not a necessarily (P’sik Reisha) outcome.
