Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Chin straps! I use these. You get two sets. I can personally guarantee if attached correctly they are safe into 3 figure mph speeds 😂 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332594937195?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kcLl8Z8RSAe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QRblEOOHQaG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY When not strapped under the chin they lay nicely across the peak where it joins the main part of the cap. I tried for years to get my McLaren F1 cap to stay on, no hope. Lost it and recovered it at least 6 times (can you tell? 😁) before finally tethering it. Tried all sorts of caps and hats with peaks (has to have one or the sun blinds me), elastic bands, ear defenders (which just blew off as well) none of which really worked when the speed got high. Then I remembered I had a brand new Vodafone cap still in it's bag. I had stupidity assumed it would be the same as the McLaren one, wrong! I found that even a small variation in the type of cap can make all the difference. It fits better and stays on because the rear strap sits just below the lump on the back of your skull whereas the other cap sat on or just above it and that made all the difference! With any peaked cap if you have an aeroscreen like I do and look up at the sky doing 60+mph you are asking for trouble, unless you are very short! I still use the chin straps though as then I KNOW 100% it won't fly off. I also have it tethered just in case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This also works but is extremely painful and left dents in my forehead for days afterwards I did feel quite safe though 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
