I too shave my head down with a #3 guard.

My girlfriend, on the other hand, has hair down to her waist, so I keep a ballcap in the hidden stroage area for her.

If it's hidden, how does she know where to find it?

Most times no hat (keep hair short).

When I do wear a cap it is a "1999 World Champion NY Yankee" cap soon to be replaced with the 2000 version.

Wife wears a Blue Denim S2000 cap that the dealer gave me.

I keep a hat in the car, but I am too tall to wear it while driving. It would blow off at 10MPH.

I usually wear my Houston Texans visor. It keeps the hair out of the eyes but you still get the wind in your hair. It also seems to stay on really well.

wow...way to revive a 5 year old thread

Is it pretty much consensus that 70 mph is the threshold for hats? I almost always wear hats (I work for family business so the dress code is pretty relaxed) and I'm picking my S up in the next few hours, so I'm curious if I'm going to have to start combing my hair.

I really hope not.

I wear a cap at anything other than highway speeds. I suffer too much glare on sunny days without one.

Even though I still have all of my hair, I wear a hat when the top is down to keep sun off my face. (Hey, I turned the big "5-0" this year, gotta protect against UV). Florida Gators hat, BILL FORWARD ALWAYS! (Backward baseball hats are ) As with others, I keep a tube of sunscreen in the "pooka". Haven't lost a hat yet, but have not gone faster than about 85.

I prefer no hat unless fighting sun glare in front, or sun too hot on top. Have gone to a much shorter hair style since I got my roadster.

A little trick I use to keep the hat on at high speeds on windy days is one of those little ID tag belt-clips -- the ones with the plastic retractable ID holders -- couple of bucks at an office supply store. Just snap the loop around the hat adjusting strip and clip the retractor to the seat belt. Never lost a hat without it, but feel a little safer with it.
