Like others I use caps. They have a perfect sized peak to keep the sun off your head & out of your eyes, the cap itself absorbs sweat, and as you ride along the relative wind evaporates the sweat and keeps you coool (copyright Hacienda71).
On a hot day, dip the cap in a fountain or run it under a tap, then pop it back on your head, instant cooling till it dries off - then repeat.
With the peak upturned it is a relatively safe place for riding glasses to perch, and off the bike you can hold keys, phone, wallet and other small items in it as if it were a small purse, while you organise yourself post ride.

Thou's reet posh in Yorkshire aren't thee?
Can't remember ever seeing a fountain in Barnsley, Castleford, Dewsbury or the like. You must live in posh N Yorkshire, Harrogate or summat

Absolutely. It's been a revelation (even worn under a helmet). That and it makes me look like a pirate. Arr.
