Question How many wear a liner under your helmet?

Maybe I should have titled this : How many of you are bald and sweat under your helmet?

Anyway, I have a Q ball head and find that if I don't wear a "do rag" or a bandana tied around my head my helmet liner has a smell much quicker than if I wear one.

There is another thread about wearing old style riding caps but some of the thread is also about how "uncool" wearing a do rag is these days.

Back to the point of the post-- what are those of you with the dreaded helmet sweats wearing as a helmet liner these days?

I could give a flying _ _ _ _ about what is cool or uncool at any moment in time regarding "fashion" or not-- and will always take function over form, and wear (or not wear as the case may be) what I want to.

So what do you good people wear as a liner to hold off the inevitable "helmet sweats"?

I only wear one when it's cold. I have a full head of hair and my helmet has good ventilation.

I wear a do rag under my itty bitty helmet, just to keep it from being to loose, and yeah I is bald. I have other helmets that I dont wear much and do not wear the do rag with them. Quit puttin your nose in your helmet and smelling it... ha ha.

i wear a welders hat with the visor backward with the helmet on. it helps keep the sun off the back of the neck. when the helmet is off my head i turn the hat around.

But don't you need something to help hold that big puff of hair in down (as evinced in your avatar)? I myself am not follicularly challenged, but wear a doo-rag of necessity, as otherwise how to hide the helmet-hair?...
