Put on my thin toboggan under the helmet, great in the winter but brutally hot in the Florida sun this time of year.

Just curious if anyone else has an easy solution, other than just having a helmet tan?

(Although I guess if this is my biggest problem today then it's a pretty good day!)
I second the "its a pretty good day" comment, but I imagine there are thin breatheable beanies that work well, I know I see other riders sans hair using them in the summer, so they must work.

As a Canadian however, your toboggan statement was rather odd, never seen that word used for anything other than this.....so it made for a strange picture in my head after reading your sentence....
