I use 'em, my hair is so short I'd burn and the bandana helps against killer rain drops and june bugs....not quite helmet protection, but takes a little of the sting out.

Holy crap people, why are some of you so damn concerned about what others think you should or should not wear........?

If you like it and it works for you in any way, then just wear it and the hell with what anybody else thinks......

I wear a chain wallet, chaps in the cold, fingerless gloves when it's too hot for full finger gloves, I often wear a novelty helmet and sometimes a DOT, ball caps, bandannas, and dew rags depending on my mood. I sometimes put around town in shorts, sleeveless t-shirt and deck sneakers, I also ride in jeans, engineer boots, and a leather highway jacket. I don't give a rat's *** what anyone thinks of me, or how I look, and if you stand in judgment of my appearance you can kindly G.F.Y......

I used to use the bandannas, now I wear doo rags. Not as good as a bandana for lots of things, but better for covering my head. I like them light colored with terrycloth on the forehead.

A doo-rag, bandanna, or some kinda washable skullcap, is the only thing that keeps my helmet from establishing a whole fukn deviant ecosystem from the various bodily fluids and scum emanating from my ancient noggin. Without the doo-rag...there'd be things in there that want me dead.

If you wear a doo-rag, or bandanna around without the helmet, you're a flaming homosexual (or a pirate...and I ain't seen a pirate job posting in a long time). Not that there's anything wrong with that...but there it is.

i wear them all the time, i have no hair so on the hot as hell days it keeps me from being blinded by sweat...
and i wear a low profile helmet, so having it on keeps me from goin deaf from wind noise...
but mostly i just like them, ive worn them for 20 plus years...
but it has to be a real bandanna not one of those gas station corny tie up things...

I live in a very buggy area. I tie one on my face, bandito style at night most of the time. Screw the 'I'm manly tough & I like bug chunks in my teeth' line... Japanese beatles, cicadas & such at 60 on bare face frickin HURTS. & nope...do't care what people think either.
