Recumbent Riders' headgear

That's the bestest solution, but I just tie it on with suitable cordage, with my penchant for tying knots it don't take long, even simpler than buying bondage leashes for caps

Personally, I don’t like baseball caps, as they are designed for forward vision, and I find the peak comes too low at the sides, obscuring my lateral vision.

For summer I tend to use an ordinary cycle cap, but I avoid the ‘one size fits all’ types and go for something a bit more fitted. I have had good experience with ‘Smith London’ caps.

For winter, I have tried a variety of things, but the best so far I found in Ireland: a lined tweed ‘jockey cap’ type with fold down ear flaps, by ‘John Hanley’. With the flaps down it is very secure, very warm, and quite water resistant.

I really dont understand the resistance to wearing a cycling helmet. Once I put mine on, I totally forget it is there. And mine has a sun visor that helps when riding into the sun.

Maybe because the question asked in the first post is about anything but helmets!
Read it and you'll see what they are asking.

A cycle cap has a smaller peak and is unlikely to blow off if it fits your head.

UH----------the title of the thread is head gear. Helmets are head gear.

Helmet threads are in a separate section, Advocacy and Safety.
Have a look sometime.
