[Healeys] Fashion Advice Needed

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Charlie:  A wide brimmed hat would seem to be the most protection for head 
and face; however, even with a cord under the chin holding in on, it won't 
stay in place due to wind buffeting.  A baseball cap would protect the top 
of your head but not your ears and face.  I find the best solution for me is 
a 'safari' type cap with the flap on the back.  It covers the top of your 
head, has a bill to protect most of your face, if the flap comes around far 
enough it covers the tops of your ears, and has the added feature of 
blocking the wind that is hitting the back of your neck and head.

Jonas's idea of the pilot cap would work, too.  ;-)
