5 Stars Sunprotection
by a member from Sacramento, Ca on May 9, 2012
  Fits nicely under helmet and provides good sun protection for ears and neck

3 Stars Doesn't cover enough
by a member from San Francisco, CA USA on May 3, 2012
  The weight and feel of this cap are excellent, but the draping fabric covers only the back of the neck, and is not sufficient to also provide protection for the sides. It does not do a better job of keeping the sun off than just a simple bandana tucked under your helmet. The "geek" factor of such an outfit is high, but this cap's high tech approach was not much better looking, and did not provide adequate sun protection for those that need greater coverage.

4 Stars Protect Your Ears
by James Ralston from Memphis, TN USA on Nov 17, 2011
  As a 65 year old touring rider and lifelong outdoor enthusiast I've unfortunately had too much exposure to the sun. Several reminders of past sun damage have been removed from my ears and now, even though it is late, I'm much more aware and careful. The Protech Cap did a great job of shielding my ears from the sun on the 1900 miles that I rode on the Pacific Coast Highway tour that I finished in November 2011. The only issue that I identified is that my head seemed a little warmer than it might be if the material of the crown of the hat was a little thinner. It might also have been a little more comfortable under my helmet with slightly thinner material. I wore it all but several rain days so these questions did not reduce its usefulness. I will also wear it for longer rides in my hometown of Memphis in the Summer. Jim
