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.
The problem with “other solutions” is that they aren’t designed for use on a moving bike, so they don’t have the structure to actually work well. Apparently, Da Brim works in 30mph winds.
I’m fine with paying money for something that works well, especially when comfort and safety are a priority. But I appreciate you looking at alternatives… I was looking too, and found nothing that was the same (for cycling).
