After a long day riding (14+ hours), my forehead is tender and irritated from helmet lining. Been thinking about getting a very thin and lightweight beenie type thing to wear underneath the helmet.

Wondering if anyone else here has or does something similar to guard against tender noggin?

 

If you use a beanie make sure you get one without the propellers, they'd hurt worse...



Actually you can go to some shop and get a doo rag, a mini-version of a bandana, made to wrap around your forehead and tie low on the back of your head. They fit well under a helmet and work pretty good. Plus they are relatively inexpensive. I got one at BikeWeek a long time back, used it for years, need a new one. There are special scalp covers made, more expensive and I don't know the name of them. Someone may chime in here with the name, if not go to the ADVrider forum and post your question in the Equipment sub-forum.

 

A welders cap works also. I'll put one on after I get a haircut to keep my helmet from looking like a cat slept in it. They have a very short bill which I turn to the back... gangster style.

 

Thanks guys. Good suggestions.
