Hats

[Bikingmomof3]

Well for whatever reason the neurologists recommend I have a hat or scarf with me for my tests. So, rather than question this, I decided why not buy a hat for cycling and take it with me for tests.

Any cycling hat recommendations?

These will fit under your helmet and look rather stylish I think:

Do you want warm fuzzy hats like the ibex (which are very pretty) or the old fashioned cycling caps like this.

Thanks Lisa. I purchased the fusia one this morning.

I ordered this hat in Fuchsia: http://www.ibexwear.com/F06/View_Pro...&CategoryLine=

The hat arrived today and is wonderful. No test run, since it is 81 degrees out, but I can tell you the colour is lovely. To me, the colour is more of an eggplant than fuchsia. I am pleased I chose this colour. It matches nothing I own, but I figured some cheeriness would be nice on dreary days.

Oh, if I could only justify ordering one... Think I'd better be riding and getting cold before I go buy one. I've overspent my bike budget a few times over this year. Maybe I'll suggest it for Christmas! SKnot always needs a little help with presents ideas.

I ordered this green one with the stripe!:

Come on, Knot....I want to think of us all peddling along wearing the same type hat on frosty mornings!....

I'm really leaning toward either the solid fushia or the solid black.

(but more than that I need to buy an Ortlieb Large saddle bag from wallbike)

Ibex is sold out on the black solid hat! Oh, no! And I was almost ready to order one and a Collo turtleneck!

If that fushia is really more of an eggplant color, i could order that.

what about the striped ones? The black w/orange stripe looks cool, and the "current" one too.
I got the green striped one which I like. The green is more of a kelly green than the soft green they picture.
You can always get the solid black SmartWool skullcap on TE... that one fits right over your ears nicely and is a little more stretchy, which is good under the helmet. I plan to double up my green one and my SW black one when it gets really cold.

I really like mine and I think it looks more like an eggplant colour, although I am not the best judge of colours. I was very pleased with the colour, but I was not trying to match or coordinate it with anything.

I don't really need a hat, I just want one.

What I really need are clothes, cuz mine don't fit anymore.

I have 3 pairs of pants I can still wear to work. One of them, if I unhook the belt they slide right off my hips! Won't be wearing them to work much longer, I'm afraid.

Might get the Collo t-neck, then go to Coldwater Creek and get some pants. Or maybe I should save my money and go to Target for a wool t-neck. (Target's pants aren't long enough. Darn! Less than $20 = happy shopping!)

Or just not buy a t-neck. Get a pair of pants and nothing else.

But I want the Collo in plum... http://www.ibexwear.com/F06/View_Pro...?GarmentID=318 I deserve it! I had a difficult day yesterday! Sure, I can rationalize buying a t-neck from Ibex!

That is a sweet shirt and an awesome price. You deserve it!
