    well if putting down the windows count, visor, driving cap, or nothing. depends on the time of year and outdoor temperature dictates what hat I grab off the hat rack by the front door...

    Sun block on my bald head, or a baseball cap that fits tight enough it doesn't go flying off.

    With "Marguaritaville Radio" blasting on the sat, a Jimmy Buffet Tropical print visor is the only way to go in S.W. Fla. with the top down.

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

    No hat for this Silverback. Stick it out there and hope for the best (we're talking about hats for our noggin, correct?)

    I've owned a few convertibles. I recommend you wear a hat that you don't mind losing.

    If I wear a hat with the top down I bought these clips at a boating store that clips your hat to your collar. I used to use them when sailing where you have to have something or you would lose hats all the time. In my current convertible (an 08) I don't think there is enough wind to take my hat away. It was much worse when I had the classic cabrio.
