I wear a rag under my helmet due to my getting "hot spot" if I don't. Drives me crazy.

Under armour actually makes a skull cap. Why not just rock one of those?

It's still easy to find cotton bandannas around here, even Wal-Mart. They're about a buck or so. Double them over at the corners and tie. Keeps the top of me head from getting cooked, helmet or no helmet.

Also, similar to what hagger said...

Next time u cut the sleeves off a tshirt to make a tank top, don't throw the sleeves away, they make good doo rags. Cotton and. Anise tight fit.

I used them when I had long hair...pull the sleeve over ur head till it's down by ur neck, then slide it back up

Skull caps from any welding supply shop work for me.

i love it when someone who has had a negative impression of something forever finally sees the light and comes around. you know, not everything a biker wears is 'fashion', a lot of it really does have a purpose.

a doo rag actually has several, if your helmet is slightly too big, it makes it fit better. it absorbs the sweat from your head instead of the helmet liner, helps keep your hair out of your eyes, no helmet? protects the top of your head from sunburn, again, helps keep your hair under control. also keeps sweat from dripping into your eyes (that burns like a ****!)

all that from just a small piece of cloth.

now lets talk about assless chaps and fingerless gloves (kidding.....)

Don't forget, it makes great toilet paper if that burger you just had 50 miles ago suddenly decides to purge itself and there isn't a building in sight!

Of course at this point, I wouldn't suggest putting it back on your head.

I've got a couple of helmets that are 10+ years old. Wearing a doo rag while wearing them has kept the insides from rotting away.
