Bohn Skull Cap/Helmet Liner

I used a Schampa Coolskin for a few years and while it DID keep my head comfy, the broad seam right down the middle left a rather large (and sometimes painful) line right down the middle of my forehead. :( This Bohn Skull Cap is a much better item, and I wish I'd found it first. The material is thin on the top, and lets sufficient airflow through to keep my scalp cool on hot Virginia days. The side panel material is soft, absorbent and comfy. Keeps me dry in the summer, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles winter riding.

Fit is very good. Materials a good too. Good for hot or cold weather when worn with a motorcycle helmet, Two small issues. 1. "Bohn" tab with logo is bothersome. It is sewn on right side and sometimes catches under helmet. I cut mine off - so no biggie. 2. After 5 months of wear, sewn seam around head is fraying. Has not broken thread or come loose, but it is showing wear.

I am late in writing this review. I purchas two of these fine helmet liners at least 6 months ago and they are the best fitting, most comfortable helmet liners that I have had. Prior to this I had been purchasing skull caps from my local PX on base and they were fine, but the sewn in seam always left a mark on my forehead. The Bohn liners don’t leave a mark and are cool and comfortable worn under my motorcycle helmet.

I admit I bought this liner in an effort to save a little money. I have two other liners (one a balaclava style and the other with a tail at the neck) both made by the same folks (not Bohn). They both do a fantastic job and have no irritating seams gouging my skull. I wanted a liner without a tail to allow a bit of air to the back of my neck and thought I'd try this one and save $18. Well, we all know how that usually works out. I have no complaint where the wicking is concerned with this liner. I wore it all weekend, covering about 1,000 miles in temps from 50F to 86F. Temperature and moisture-wise it did a good job. But no matter which way I turned it the large seems left deep, irritated dents in the skin on my skull. I do shave my head so there was no hair to interfere so I'm not sure what difference that would make. I do not have a mig head nor do I wear a helmet that is too tight so that isn't a factor. I wear a very comfy Shoei Multitec in size Large I've worn for about 13,000 miles now. My .02 - design it without those seams and it'll be a five star helmet liner.

This is my favorite and most used skull cap. I commute 4x/week by bike 26 mi round trip, pretty much year round. I bought my first one a couple years ago and just purchased a second to help with laundry rotation. The first one has received a lot of use and the stitching and fabric is in like new condition. I've collected 3 different kinds of skull caps. The other two I hardly ever use. They are heavier material and cover more of my face and neck. When it's cold enough to consider using one of them I'm also considering my baclava. So generally I use a thin material sweat band on hot to warm days, this cap on cool to cold days, and a baclava on the coldest of days. Best features: - Well constructed. - Fits well (gotta put it on right -- the Bohn tag lands just behind the right earlobe). Perfectly horizontal in the front above the eyebrows and covers the ears to the base of the earlobes, at least on my head. Plenty warm yet so thin it fits easily under my helmet. - Keeps sweat out of my eyes even when it's totally saturated with sweat. - Wide temp usage range. For me, up to about 60 F down into the 20's.

Nice! Fairly thick and smooth. Fits well. I use it both for under my helmet and to wear when my hair's wet to keep it in place now that I am growing my hair out (what's left of it). Better price than getting big sports company name item at a sporting goods store (to wear under a football helmet).

Good as advertised.

Love at first application. Let me state this in bullet points: - Comfortable as can be. - Keeps my headphones from wiggling out of my ears - Placing the helmet on my head takes seconds - Keeps my helmet from my sweat (giving more life to the materials within the helmet) - It's breathable - I want like 6 of these!!!
