Not to perpetuate any discussion on the helmet topic, my position on the issue is that if I'm going to wear one (and I do), I want to make it as bold and awesome as my bikes are. Therefore, I just replaced my aging Specialized helmet with a new POC Octal MIPS bright orange helmet that cost a fortune for a helmet, but gives my wife peace of mind: http://news.pocsports.com/2014/08/21/poc-unveils-the-octal-avip-mips-and-eye-park/
Since its vents are so large (and it feels awesome when riding with it), I'm going to explore some of the great suggestions that have been shared in this thread to ride with warm temperatures and additional sun protection as we're getting summer temperatures here in the SF Bay Area now. When it's colder, I just wear and love the Icebreaker Chase Beanies: http://www.icebreaker.com/en/web-specials/chase-beanie/100746_WS.html?dwvar_100746__WS_color=302&cts=110%7C501%7CD87%7C302%7C401 René On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 10:54 AM, John <jphillip...@icloud.com> wrote: > This is getting away from the sun hat topic, and I also hate wearing a > helmet, but at least Steve cares enough about all of us to call us ninnies > for not wearing one. > > If he didn't care about us, he would keep quiet. > > My wife is a psychologist who has treated a large number of people > suffering from head trauma and the permanent damage to their cognitive > abilities and personalities. > > She has also treated emergency room professionals traumatized by what they > have seen & treated.
