BLACK DIAMOND DASH VISOR

-

I’ve taken a bit of gentle stick for my love of visors; but bear with me and you will see how amazingly practical they are. I have thick, wavy hair, and ramming this under a sun hat on a hot day is counter-productive, especially if I’m working up a sweat. I love the way a visor shades my face but allows my head to breathe and dump heat. I can tie my hair right up, keeping it away from my neck and allowing airflow, helping to cool me further. I find it very versatile, because I can don a woolly hat or a buff over my visor on cooler days to keep my ears warm whilst still shading my eyes.

And so to the Dash Visor, which is lightweigh­t simplicity itself. The soft, wicking headband is nice and deep, ensuring excellent coverage of the temples (which can be a danger zone with visors). The brim is flexible and crease-resistant, casting good shade over the forehead and eyes. It is secured in place by a wide band of elastic, a bucklefree design that is very friendly to anyone with long hair. Because there is nothing beyond the stretchine­ss to hold it in place, it’s good that the hat comes in two sizes. I have quite a large head, and the L/XL is a good fit for me.
