I live in sunny Australia, I've debated getting a cycling brim for a while now and finally thought I'd give it a crack.
It's great! Keeps the hot sun off the back of the head and neck while keeping me nice and cool. I thought it might create some airflow problems but nahh, its all good:)
The big positive is that I am now not blinding myself with sweat and sunscreen drizzling into my eyes. I big relief in my climate.
Neat little thing:)

What did you end up getting? LBS or sometjing online?
First thought; “Bwah haha, that’s stupid!” Quickly followed by “I want one!”👍
Always put on one when go for long rides (tropical climate here – sun all days)
I wear one on my yearly 150 mile Bike MS. Most other rides are on trails with some shade.
I got a cheap one meant for construction helmets and reinforced it to not fold in the wind. It looks dumb but it is effective.
nah but they’re fucking sick
As someone that also lives in sunny Australia, I love the idea, but I don’t think I could pull it off.
Then I look at the Blue Lug instagram and they kinda make them look cool.
I did not know these existed – where did you get it?
I have one and it’s great. Even when crossing a desert I at least had a little bit of shade for my face and neck.
I think I look a little silly, but I’m really glad I have it with me
As a younger (roadie spandex) man I would have scoffed heartily at this. As a 40yo man I say hell fuckin yeah ain’t gonna get me sun
Nice bread m8
I have one for my hardhat at work. It makes a huge difference.
They look a little goofy, but not as goofy as getting bits of skin cancer chopped out later.
Plus, extra space for stickers.
That’s cool!
Is that a Vegemite sandwich?
Unironically??
No
