    I have an awning striped propellor beanie with a Star Trek pin on the front, that I wear when I drive my MG. It keeps the wind from blowing my hair and the propellor spins when I'm going down the road! :Thumbsup:

    I hear zombies wear old threads like this on their heads while motoring.

    Learn to like ball caps ;)

    About the only time I wear them is in the cabrio.

    I have a furry bomber hat with ear flaps for winter :)

    And sunscreen for your ears and neck...

    Nothing while motoring, just bring a hat to wear for where ever your going.. The windscreen does actually work to cut down on the backdraft...

    How much folliage you have left is a major factor... I have too much for sunscreen, but not enough for shade. So... cap. Otherwise, I'd be sunscreening the dome.
