I've been mt. biking since about '85 and because it can get pretty hot here
in Utah,
I soak a bandana and put it on my head, under my helmet. It will get soaked
anyway, but this starts things off feeling a lot cooler. I've done the same
thing
when driving .... just pull that same bandana off every 50 miles or so, soak
it
and move on. Works great for a baldy like moi.
