Stick some black tape across the top of the windscreen frame to stop the reflected glare.

A well fitting flatcap is the only cap with a Brim that stays on while comfortable for me. Perhaps different head have different aerodynamics ;)

I find that a 30s' style cap with the fuller body is much more secure than the 50s' style 'flat cap', perhaps because the cap band (for lack of a better description) seems to grip better.
This sort of thing.
One of them, at least, seems to stay put.

Got it in one Ray; I thought it might help me with the bends. |
