Now that summer is almost here, I’m looking for better ways to protect myself from the sun. I generally dislike sunscreen, but I do wear it while riding.
The helmet visor “Da Brim” (website) caught my attention. Since I wear a huge-ass sombrero-style hat when I’m off the bike, I’m fine with the way Da Brim looks.
For context, some of my summer rides might have me in 8-10+ hours of sun, which isn’t good, even with sunscreen on. If Da Brim can make the experience more tolerable, I’m in!
I’m curious to hear from anyone who has one, and what their experience has been.
Buddy looks like he’s getting ready to take off. He’s got his flaps out and everything!
In all seriousness, no. Where I live, the environment doesn’t really necessitate such measures.
The sun doesn’t shine?

Actually I live in Calgary, which is apparently one of the sunniest cities in
North AmericaCanada. I’ve just never felt the need for something like this. I got my sunscreen, and my sunnies. My helmet blocks the rest. I dunno…
