How weather/intense sun question for my DT brethren. A while back I saw several pics of some guys riding in the sun light with a shade attachment on their mtb helmets that kinda looked like a cowboy hat- pretty much a 360 attachment with the vented helmet in the middle. I need one of those like it's nobody's 'badness, but of course I hope to make it YOUR 'bidness if you know where I can buy one. I got a handful of hairline skin cancers starting up right in that area. So does the wife, and she's also a rider. No doubt the sun is a major factor in their growth. So, can anybody out there help a bro out? TIA Ray. |

Another option is to wear a bandana under your helmet. I do this a lot on longer rides now especially when its hot out. The sides hang down and can be pulled forward a bit to cover both sides of the face and it offers full neck coverage. As a bonus you can soak it in streams you come across which helps cool you down. |

I have been using the Da Brim for the last 4 years for the same reason -too many parts cut off as a result of the sun in my youth. I am in an abusive relationship with the sun and I have live in sun hats outside, be it on a bike or otherwise While they universally fit most helmets, the visor itself comes in a few sizes. I prefer the Sporty as it is just a little smaller and not as floppy. Besides, it says I can go up to 35 mph with it. I just like it for the extra 2 feet of glide I get as Skypark when I turn my head just so once I get the wheels off the ground.... I am past the stupid and the under-the-breath comments. I imagine your ego is able to stand up to such stupidity as well. It is definitely worth the investment. I been told I look somewhere between a cowboy, firefighter, ranger, and, of course, dork. All I know is I have a lot less burns and have shade on my upper body most of the day. |

Late to the party as always... I have Da Brim too (sporty smaller version). Works great. Has never fallen off, and I've never gone airborne ala Flying Nun either. Embrace the Helmbrero! |

I'm going with "dork" even though I know it's going to mean there's a walk-off, front yard tussle, Chinese downhill, or a fist in the throat to permanently disrupt my breathing ability in my future. |

Thanks for all the support. Now, I just gotta figure out how to fit the thing to my Giro Xen. Does the helmet visor need removing? Yes, I really am that stupid these days..... |
