Don't wear em. I hate hats, although I have to wear a hardhat at work.
This is just my opinion, but nothing screams poser more to to me than seeing a "square" wearing a doo rag. By square, I mean short hair.
Wear what you want though to protect your noggin from the sun.

I will rarely wear a ball cap to help keep the sun off my nose and out of my eyes when not riding and walking around a lot.

I didn't know Under Armor makes them. I like this one as it has the extra "strap" to hold it in place.

I don't wear these personally, I use the t shirt sleeve method I described on really hot days. I have stacks of shirt sleeves laying around the garage and shed.

This one is mesh on top...

This one is UA material all over.

Both would wick sweat but I could imagine the first one would be cooler

Ha! The Army issued me mine for free - its great for absorbing the sweat, as well as keep it from running into my eyes..you can buy them in any clothing exchange as well for about $10 bucks (skull cap).

www.zainheadgear.com I've worn those for the past 5 years. They ride a little lower on your head which is ok for guys like me with hair down to the ground! The ones I wore were cotton and very comfortable. Everyone's tastes are different but I love them.

Why pay 20 $ for some junk made in China? when you can just borrow one from the OL.
