Last year and the year before my head got a bit burned in the sun.
Yvonne said I should buy a hat.
So I just ordered a hat online.
It's called a Baja Sea.
No idea why.
They all have weird names.
Yvonne is a bit miffed it cost £95.
Explained I had extra money due to her being ill and not getting out on the bike so much therefore saved money buying less petrol
So do you like my hat?

@JimBo452020 Jim, how many European adult men would wear a baseball cap?

We left the EU.
So maybe we are not European.
But lots of Scottish men do.
Especially young adult males who wander the streets in bangs.
And the wee boys here who copy them

The hat is pretty and like the colour too. But can you wear it while you are driving?

No.
Crash helmets have to fit the head properly.
Can't be wearing a hat under it

I like the color. Maybe Baja Sea is its color and that's why it's called like that. Is it comfy to wear? Does it protect from the sun?

My son-in-law did construction work during his college years and then part time for extra money before they started having children. He would not wear a hat, nor sunscreen, so was always getting way too much sun. He ended up with 2 cancerous lesions on his head (he doesn't have much hair!) and had to have some pretty deep surgery, following up with a skin graft. Now, he does sunscreen and a hat, always. Glad you got a hat to protect your head, Jim.

3 years ago I posted the result of me not wearing a hat in the sun.
I looked like the Ribena man

My best friend of many years owned a salon and they had tanning booths. She tanned a lot, and loved to be outside getting sun whenever possible. In the last 5 years, she has had to have surgeries 4 times for cancerous places--one was very near her left eye and left a huge scar, I didn't think the stitches would ever heal. That finally healed and now she has developed another on the top of her hand that has to be attended to this next week. Now, she always wears a hat and sunscreen.

I love the hat. You should look really stylish with the hat and a pair of sunglasses,

Pretty cool looking hat. But if you wear it while you're riding, you're apt to lose it. Or do you wear a motorcycle helmet when you're out riding?

Always wear a motorcycle helmet.
By law we have to
And even if it was not law, I would anyway.
We only get one head.
But we can get he....

@JimBo452020 Probably not but when you do - it hasn't got a bit enough brim to keep much sun off you. (I copied and pasted that bit!
)

(Let your wife/partner search for one for you next time, she might find a similar one at 1/5 of the price (or even less)

It is expensive.
But I am worth it.
It is light and will actually keep my head quite cool.

Once it is on the head you cannot see it
And I bet others wouldn't give a hat a second thought when they see you wearing it
