Default Wooly hat weather is here.

By jingo my ears were cold this morning!

Heated seats still performing miracles on the arse/back, heater blowing nicely on the toes and with a bit of adjustment I can actually get some warm air onto my ears but have to hold the steering wheel in a weird place or I get super-hot knuckles.

So it's time to invest in a new wooly hat.

Clearly I need something that;

1: Looks cool
2: Keeps my ears warm
3: Adds BHP
4: Improves handling

I have a comedy leather fur lined flying hat and goggles that my missus bought me as a joke last year but clearly I don't want to drive round looking like Biggles (Anyone under 40, google him)

Any wooly hat reviews?

What could be more fitting than an s2ki beanie? http://store.s2ki.com/products/s2kibeanie

Mine is pretty good, but shipping costs may be excessive.

I think you should wear the Biggles hat - deffo earns man points (especially combined with a silk scarf)

Same for me. I love the look with the HT back on

If you keep the ear flaps "flapping" I believe it improves downforce by 68%! And with the streamline effect from the matching goggles is the equivalent of 50BHP!!

I have one too, it's my secret street sleeper winter weapon!! Sssshhh! ;-)

It's got to be a deer stalker with additional Ti / CF head mount spoiler option.

If JJC have sold out I'm sure Dixon could knock you something up.

Yes, had my wooly beanie on this morning, top down in the Manchester sunshine! No heated seats for me though, I have a special heated gas system to warm them

Re: hats, do you mean this kind of thing? I believe they're/were quite 'cool' with da kids, I was thinking of getting one myself

Hard tops are for girls and shirt lifters.
