JimNoble Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 For your head, you want one of these: Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap I have a pair of Oakley Switch Mag sunglasses, which wrap all the way around my eyes keeping the wind out completely. They are also amazingly light (and amazingly expensive - only got one pair of eyes though). Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 Does that have a chin strap? The picture / web site aren't clear on that front. If not, what stops it flying off? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimNoble Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Does that have a chin strap? The picture / web site aren't clear on that front. If not, what stops it flying off? No chin strap. It's a snug fit though (or maybe I just have a big head Actually I know I have a big head ) and there's a tensioning strap at the back. The peak is flexible (but wired) so it won't be caught by the wind like a baseball cap would... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I have one the same, and I agree, it is a good snug fit. There are 2 loops on the earflaps that you could rig something through too. I've worn mine in gales on top of mountains, and it never came close to flying away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 But have you worn it while doing about 85 in a Westfield? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilwillis Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I know some people who would sooner die from exposure than allow their immaculate grooming to be compromised. Me? Well, I fall into the wipe the grease down your chinos, I'll get a haircut when I can't see camp. I just think it is fair to point out the pitfalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 I've got one and it stays on at well over 85 there is a volume adjustment (eh?) at the back - the problem usually is a peak but on the Lowe hat you can button the peak back for those exuberant moments.
