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.

    Wow, that’s great to hear! I’m way north of the border (like, Canada), and even though I haven’t noticed anyone wearing these, I tend to be an early adopter of just about anything. LOL You should see the looks I had when I used “bar mits” on my bike over the winter. 😂
