Had to go with the last one.

My head's way to large for a ball cap.

OK, I'm tied for 2nd place with 1 vote.  I'm bald dammit.  I have to wear something or I would die of complications from the constant sunburn.

It's amazing what you learn on this site.  I always thought caps were used to pass around while taking up a collection for gas money.

 I wanted to select 7 out of the 10 choices.

Then I read the question again.
Sticking the cap under the helmet will open up some space on the shelf.
Thanks for the tip.

You forgot...

Keeps the sun off my neck.

That's the way I always wear my hat to my hip-hop meetings.

and...

How else would I get that cool Sherlock Holmes look.

Your not my boss!

The hat keeps the sun off the back of my neck, and the sweat off my helmet liner.

Frankly Scarlet, I could give a damn, I just clicked on this thread to have another peek at your avatar!
Unless you're a welder it's stupid looking to wear a hat backwards to start with, let alone under a helmet.

+1 Terry, I'm proud of my shiny skull, but sunburn is a bitch! I normally ride with a gimme cap in the proper position bill straight forward covering my eyes. If you wear one with the mesh back(solid back will suck right off), you can do over 70 mph without a windshield (a light bead of sweat will help it stick).

I guess I would wear it under my helmet if I got the next size larger helmet...... but, my helmet fits fine without it.... so..... I carry it in the sissybar bag.

First of all, why do you care if I wear a hat under my helmet? But yes, I do wear one under the helmet if I know that I will be off the bike for a while cause I don't ride no stinkin' bagger. LOL

My head's too big to get a lid on with any kind of hat on backwards nayway - that's if I owned one.  Its not a UK thing - now if they made a bowler hat shaped helmet that's what I'd be wearing and yes I know...........

Backward cap under helmet? Y'all get this from the latest motorclothes catalog? Backward caps are for baseball backcatchers.

I'm going against the grain and say yes i wear a cap backwards under my helmet.I have no hair on my head and the cap helps when the wind is blowing on the highway keeping my helmet snug in place.If i had lots of hair it probably wouldnt be a problem.Helps with the sweat as well being in sunny fla and my bald head i better be wearing something.

Plus...if no one has noticed ~ the caps that are non-adjustable are great for keeping your forehead from getting cold on some mornings as well as cushioning the dreaded bug smack!

If you'll notice that in the catalog the caps are facing FORWARD and not designed to be worn BACKWARDS,,,,,you will void the warranty and be in direct violation of SEVERAL "real biker" rules.....jus sayin
