Wear something..beats melanoma. Small spot ends up being a 1 1/4 x 1/4 deep chunk gone. Find out today if it's gets cut again to 2 1/4 ..Still hoping I'm on the 5 year list and that it's not swimming around in my blood (that's the bad list......)..

I began habitually wearing hats when I started having more head than hair. A few years back I started wearing a black skullcap while riding. The elastic keeps it in place, no "tails" to whip in the wind, and it fits under a helmet and absorbs the sweat.


When I get off the bike, I always have it with me, too.

I also get Sun burned easy since I have a lot less hair up there..

and if Your head is kind-of flat in the rear like mine. then I understand as it is hard for me to keep a DO on also...

I've went full circle, for the last two yrs I have learned to wear a Helmet..

With a visor it also helps keep the sun off my nose as I've also had to go through two round of treatments for pre-cancer cells on my nose....

You should consider a bonnet.
Similar to a dew rag, it's made of cloth but has an enhanced tie down feature.
And because it's made of cloth your head will still freeze in the winter and crack on pavement. It's also quite fashionable in certain circles as modeled above.

Is that what they meant by the "Gay Nineties"?.....

I agree Buff head wear is the best. Great for hot weather, just add water and instant air conditioning.

Actually, one of my favorite riding hats for sunburn protection is a boonie hat. I took the little drawstring slide thing from an ACU cargo pocket and put it on the chin strap, so I can slide it up under my chin and it will hold, unlike those old leather slides they had.

It has enough brim to give me some back of neck protection, like a doo rag, but doesn't look like I'm trying to keep my jheri curl in place.



Plus ACU Cord Lock:
