susanschwaiger Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Sometimes I see something similar used by construction workers and flower ring sellers on the traffic lights. Need to protect the face, forehead and cheek from the sun/wind when riding motorbike. Big helmet is too hot and heavy for me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanschwaiger Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 I did not write clearly in my post. I mean: I will still put on a helmet on top of this sun-protection mask-hat. There are many good quality and light helmets . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boike Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 You can find them in these make shift mshops that sell household items cheap. Might also pick up some arm sleeves while your at it. Sent from my S4 LTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I saw some pretty cool baseball cap shaped helmets in a motorcycle shop the other day. I would have gotten one myself but I need a visor too - and I'm sure it wouldn't last long on the helmet hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanschwaiger Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thank you guys for the advice/Info! Just cut open an old black long sleeve T-Shirt. The big piece can wrap around face (and be fastened by the helmet sling), the 2 sleeves can put on arms during ride. Problem solved!!! DIY is cool !!!! Wish you all a lovely weekend )))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 All schoolkids in australia wear one .... If you have friends there im sure there will be nicer looking ones...more variety. They are often known as Legionaires hats/caps after the French Legionaires headwear . Most school uniform suppliers will have them for a few dollars and as it is school holidays in Australia and the kids are about to go to next year , now is the time to buy. Me, I would just get a cap that fits and sew a piece of cotton on the back the right length you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethailand Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Why not just get a helmet with a full size visor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I've seen these in a bunch of different hardware shops around town. Sometimes, even the big box ones will have them. But your best bet is the open air markets or small thai shops selling all sorts of stuff. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
