This is cool

Here is something that just came out from Minneapolis messenger bag company, Trash Messenger Bags. It's a cycling specific winter bomber cap. Now I'm not a big fan of some cycling specific wear, but there are some things that do need to generally be cycling specific. This looks like one of those items that could be worth it.

Custom Garbage Lid - $36.00
A winter biking bomber hat with the warmth to keep you riding from 20 F to -20 F, no prob.

Features:
-Cordura outer & Polartec Windstop liner gives you durability, water resistance, windproofness, and most importantly warmth and comfort in bitterly cold conditions.
-Strap down tight side flaps, cut with the need for lateral visability in mind
-Nearly as thin as a traditional cycling cap -- fits underneath all helmets with ease and comfort.
-Available in one color for $36, or with a second color striped in the center of the hat for $40.
-Hand made to order in Minneapolis, MN, USA.

I currently use a military surplus helmet liner that I removed the bill from so it fits under my cycling helmet.

Military Helmet Liner

The chin flaps can be folded back behind the liner, which is how I usually wear it. On really cold rides, I have a neck gater that my wife knitted that allows me to breathe extremely well, but protect my face and neck. On really-really cold days I velcro the chin flaps in front of my face AND use my neck gater.

Anyway, I think the garbage lid cap would take the place of my helmet liner on all but the most extreme of cold rides.
