A regular cycling cap comes pretty far down over my eyes worn under a helmet. That's great if it's raining - keeps the rain off my glasses rather well - but a bit too much on a sunny day. My helmets all have visors anyway, and between the visor and my sunglasses, I'm pretty well protected from glare. Lately, having gotten sick and tired of sunburn on my head, I've taken to wearing a cycling cap under the helmet, turned backwards, brim over the back of my neck. That does a fantastic job shading the back of the neck while keeping the visor away from blocking the view. I'm pleasantly surprised at how cool it all is. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
