Whether it's the angle I've never seen, or just the fact that most of the cyclists here in Atlanta who wear them are a bit bike snobbish. . . could just be my misconception. . . but I have never seen the appeal of this style hat. Now granted I despise houndstooth too. Maybe when I get a a "mature" age? . . . LOL, yea that's not happening

I shouldn't say that, I have plenty of stuff I hate the look of but it's comfy so. . . oh well.

This winter I'm seriously considering cutting up some cheap target compression ware stretchy clothing and sewing some around the helmet straps. That'd be plenty for me, but depends on the location.
