I think China has simply took the market. I like wearing them and in the last 5 or more years have seen them get thinner and odd shapes and always say made in china.
China needs a poser head for a model so they can make these things right again.
Just got one 2 days ago, thing is so small looks like I'm jewish.
I grew up on bandanas (not bananas) always had one on often, back then schools let ya wear them. I was smart to always get blue ones, I dare not get red ones and end up with pop's boogy rag on my head.
Then here came those saggy pants we gang life thuggy bung ho's that claimed colors meant something with the bandanas.
My brother always wore his like Aunt Jemima and there was that cha chi leg thing that I never understood lol.
I only wore bell bottoms once on a bike as the pants leg slipped over the kick starter. I almost fell over at the first light.lol.
I wear my doo rag sometimes if I will be walking around much like at a poker run or rally. My hair is still up there, but I keep a short hair cut and get sunburn if I don't wear it.
There's spandex ones on Ebay. They stretch to conform to any odd-shaped noggin. Some think doo-rags are silly , but they keep my balding noggin from getting sunburned.
HaHa! Agree!
Just found this and it brought a smile to my ugly mug while drinking a mug of Joe this morn.
I wear the gheyest thing of all, a full-coverage while riding and then walk around w/helmet hair.
I like the lighter colors better not because of any idea that it would soak up less sun. Back in the day when I had red hair and freckles my face didn't go well with a dark rag.
There was a dude that worked in the same building I worked in (never knew him) that used to wear all of his gear - including his helmet - into the building and all the way to his desk. Dual sport rider. Full textile armor with high boots and full face helmet.
I remember always thinking... WTF is wrong with that dude.
Kind of sort the same thing here. A guy wears his helmet all the way into the building and across to his workstation. I always thought it was odd. One day I asked him why he did it. He pointed out that he has to wear head protection while crossing the production floor and by wearing the helmet he didn't have to take his hard hat home or stash it by the door and pray it wasn't stolen by morning. A method to his madness.
I had a doo rag and lost it. A bandana keeps my forehead from getting crispy when not wearing a helmet.
Skull caps work good under a helmet. Both can be fixed to cover the ears.
Doo rags, skull caps, bandanas, they all fill a need.
Doo rags are better for under the lid IMHO. Plus they fit my piratetanical nature. But skull caps work.
Also easier to clean as opposed to washing the whole lid out. And once the naturel sun shields fades from the head, some covering helps with the head burns.
And any long roll should include a bandana or face sock. Lessen you like burned lips and such.......Or suddenly need to go all pirate or outlaw, and rob some folks
I have been asked this many times, "whats the tail thingy on your cap ********" I reply "it's for the O'lady to steer me in the right direction, don't ya know the passenger steers the scoot"?"
I wonder how many folks of screwed up on this, some have walked away with a "AH,HA!" looks
I just realized that it's not even Thanksgiving yet, and we are already discussing stuff that don't really mater much at all. You can wear what ever you want to, long as it don't dork you up.
