A helmet/head cover ?
« on: June 05, 2017, 03:46:51 PM »
Who makes a quality type of skull cap that will absorb much of the perspiration off my head(then I can wash it and keep my helmet more fresh) rather than going directly into my helmet foam ?

Not the answer you were looking for - but every part of my Shoei RF1150 is washable (or replaceable for that matter).

I stopped funking up my helmets and just toss the insides in the washing machine.

As for a head cover - you might consider those hats(??) that runners wear.  Don't have a good pic, but it looks like a beanie - not a baseball cap.

Under Armour brand makes something like this for under football helmets.
Pearl Izumi brand makes them for riders under bicycle helmets.
5.11 makes them for under tactical/military helmets
Cortech, Dainese, etc....all make under helmet beanies.

Honestly, which would you rather wear, a beanie or a rasta beret?
