The Jolly Roger is a great little cap that fits almost unnoticed under your helmet. I bought mine to keep the sweet out of my eyes and the sun away from my 'lightly thatched scone'. The Jolly Roger has meet these expectations on all day rides and races and has exceeded my expectations for its overall comport and fit. Thanks Ground Effect.
As a man who is loosing his hair on top, protecting yourself from the sun is a difficult task. Sunscreen is hard to apply as I still have some hair. Spray sunscreen dissolves the internals of your helmet! So a head covering is required, but most are to warm. Not the Jolly Roger. It is about as cool as you can expect from having an extra layer over your head, is thin enough to fit under your helmet, dries very very quickly so doesn't let sweat run down from it. The only thing that stopped me giving it a 5star review is the tails that are supposed to allow you to tie it up - useless as the come undone too easily and then just flap around. Bestter if they would just delete them.
Wore my Jolly Roger in a French heat wave, up to 44 deg C some days. It was great for soaking up the sweat, stopping the sparser areas on my head from burning, and, soaked with water before wearing, acted as great under helmet airconditioning. Alas it was lost overboard, left behind at a wetting down stop ( The Rock lobster also benefits the rider when wet and on the move, and the JR was left behind), so now on Jolly Roger number 2!
A great bit of gear. Having no hair and protecting the head from the sun has been resolved. This cap fits perfectly under my helmet. It doesn't turn into a wet rag. It keeps your head cool and prevents any sweat getting into your eye's. Have just done two rides which were around 26 deg C & 32 deg C of about 36 Km's each doing a lot of climbing. Not once did i feel i had to remove my helmet to cool down.
A very cool little number that stops my follically-challenged scalp getting cooked in the sun. Fits easily and comfortably under both my road and mtb helmets and just does the job. A good buy.
