Pro  4824    Houston |  Subject: RE: Visor or Cap?BikerGrrrl - 2012-02-09 5:57 PMI have thick hair, so I prefer a visor. In particular the Headsweats Supervisor because it has a great elastic band and nice terry cloth liner. But honestly, I've used a bunch of different running hats and visors. What she said. Visors are easier with ponytails especially Headsweats. I do wear regular hats when it is colder. |

Expert 1557  Austin, TX | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? Oysterboy - 2012-02-09 9:06 PM I like when I get my headsweats visor so filled with sweat it drips off the brim like rain. I like that. ^^^THIS. Haha, thought I was the only dork who thought this (at least that is what my wife likes to tell me). I won't wear anything other than a headsweat visor |

Veteran 149 Toronto, Canada | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? I wear a visor but I feel like a look VERY goofy in it. But i do it more for comfort than looks. It nice to throw water right on top of your head on a hot day.

I've been rockin' the visor lately. Love the Headsweats design. |

Oh, man, I am SO trying this during my next race! +1 During hot races I've dumped ice in my hat at aid stations and put it back on my head. Works great! |

| Master 1460 Burlington, Vermont | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? I rock the old school biker cap under my helmet unless it's terribly hot. Just a hold-out from when that's all I wore when I rode as a kid, before helmets were around. For running, I wear a Nike dry fit cap for many of the reasons already mentioned. It absorbs the sweat, keeps rain off my face, allows me to store ice cubes or a sponge, and keeps the sun out of my eyes. I hate wearing sunglasses when I run. They always get all spattered with sweat and salt. |

| Member 48 | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? Was reading in Chris Macormack's book that heavier pro racers (like himself) tend to go with visor in hot situations to allow for extra heat loss "off the top". More heat is generated by moving the heavier racers 165lb+ than the lighter 145lb racers. So energy/sweat management should be considered. Probably a personal preference though. MW |

| Expert 2098 Ontario Canada | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? Up untill now I have always used a Cap UA in the cooler weather & Nike Dryfit when Its hotter, But I am considering giving a visor a try this spring especially for shorter runs, I am a little thin on top and I am not sure I would want to run a visor for more then an hour or so especially if it was really sunny. |

| Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? Hat as I can put ice in it during the run in races. Visors usually have elastic that isn't as adjustable as hats. |

| Master 1686 Royersford, PA | Subject: RE: Visor or Cap? I usually stick with the cap. When it's hot I dump a cup of ice in it and when its cold it helps keep the warm in. |

MW Yep, I'm in this boat. Always wear a visor- I've also got a full head of hair to keep my skull from getting burned. |
