I have this vision of the makes of Da Brim coming to this thread with a hurt and heartfelt defense of their product. It would even be a good troll for ambitious fisherman.
Maybe they need sponsored athletes to make it cool. Dean Potter could wear one with a chin strap and dispense with the Base Rig.
Ok maybe not enough brim for that but combined with a squirrel suit you'd have this whole other control surface for flying.
@mike m - no ridicule intended. Your serious response just seemed outside of the tone on the thread. Likewise Dolomite.
But since you've brought it up:
I've heard "squamous cell carcinoma" from the mouth of my dermatologist and I wear a hat in the sun alot. I'm on the annual checkup plan and a good friend of mine died from melanoma, so I kinda know how bad it is.
Unfortunately, from what the doctor says, much of the damage was done (for me) a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised to hear alot of sad stories from posters on this site.
You guys are so TOTALLY missing it!
This guy is a master in absolute control of his anti-sun weapon.
Check his expert thumb placement on the helmet at 00:43!!!
Edit: I mean THAT after the SAVAGE removal of the visor!!!!
