Default Who here wears their half-helmet backwards?

I have seen this many times, actually thinking about trying it with my Polo helmet. The wind always catches up underneath it.

Might look weird with the DOT sticker on the front though.

Anyone else do this.

Can't say I have done that, or tried to do that.

I've been wearing my novelty helmet for over 25 years and the wind still pushes it up on my forehead. I've found if you wear a head wrap, bandana or even a ball cap backwards it stops this from happening. I think if I start wearing my helmet backwards then I'll have to buy baggy jeans and get an Affliction t-shirt.

Catchers are the only people that should wear a helmet backwards

Try wearing your underwear backwards as a doo-rag. The skidmark will stick to your forehead and keep the helmet snug.
