I have to wear a helmet... it's not optional for me. It's the Army's rules.

So, I want to use a "do-rag" or skullcap or something toabsorb sweat and look presentable when I get to work. However, the ones I've seen have skulls, rebel flags, flowers, etc on them. That's not exactly something I want to wear in uniform, even under the helmet. Even for riding in civilian clothes, most of them seem a bit too... "cookie cutter" for me.

I'd like to take one of my sand colored (uniform)t-shirts and cut something that is more my own style. So far, I've wasted two shirts trying to cut something. My work so far looks like @ss.

Does anyone have a pattern that will work?

thanks,
Rusty

 

Schampa has the best dew rags.. Look at J&P cycles Best fitting and dont come off even at high speeds Lots of colors and patterns

 

If you're looking for something that'll work under a helmet, try an aircrew skullcap. I wear one when flying and have started wearing it under my bike helmet as well. It'll make you look like a doofus for a few seconds between having it on your head and covering it up with the helmet but it keeps my hair neat and actually adds a surprising amount of warmth in the winter. Plus it helps keep your helmet clean. It's a lot easier to throw a helmet liner in the washing machine than the helmet. If you can't get them from Life Support, try these guys:

Doesn't solve the unhelmeted do-rag, but it's the right tool for the job under a bone dome.

 

I've seen them in every imaginable color and pattern. An American Flag pattern should be easy to find for starters. Then, just look around until you find what you really want or just use that as a pattern to make your own. Go to a bike event that has vendors - there'll be more do-rags than you can shake a stick at.

 

I use an Under Armour mesh skull cap - these things are terrific. http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/un...skull-cap.html

Just a thought !! You could always buy one that doesn't have the colors you want but take it apart and use it as a pattern.

heres my preference...

http://www.schampa.com/item.asp?iid=185 skull caps I like the solid grey andblack

maybe you could dye the white one a light brown or similar to obtain the military type look <shrug>

I've got their do-rag's in the same solid colors... just got to love the wicking capabilities of some of these new materials..

I also use the underarmor blue nylon mesh skullcap. I also use a white cotton vented skullcap that I bought at Sturgis Harley. It's made in the USA by brassada out of Texas. I works really good and I prefer it over the underarmor one, however I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere.
