Waterfalls of rain..... down my face!

[Wheresthehoofpick]

I have just discovered that the vents on my skull cap do not make for a happy riding experience in torrential rain.

I have googled waterproof skull cap covers but I am not coming up with any obvious answers.
Any ideas?

There are some on eBay. Not very pretty but they would do the job!

A big swimming cap ?

Tesco bag? You could split the handles, and tie them to the harness in a little bow,

google "waterproof riding hat covers"
Kramer have one, Charles Owen do one and there are others.

Shower cap, a very fetching look I’m sure.

I mean, that’s kind of tempting...

Serious suggestion but prepared to be smirked at.
Can you cling film it? Then put your regular cover over top? ?

Shouldn't admit this here, but in heavy rain I sometimes swap a riding hat for a wide-brimmed leather one which keeps the rain out of my eyes, and stops it running down the back of my neck. Not as safe if I fall, but that doesn't happen often, whereas the probability of getting soaked is 100%.

Or one of those plastic hotel shower caps?

This ebay seller might be able to help you- henleigh10
They sell waterproof riding hat covers in lots of colours (pink one linked) and might do a skull cap version if you ask.

You can get quite good ones to go under a cycle helmet, might do the job

Also effective as a contraceptive ?

Thing is you kind of need a peak to stop it all running down your face. Honestly it was like a bad 1950s ocean movie with people throwing buckets of water.
I am loving the cling film idea and a regular hat cover. Or shower cap with ditto.

now to do it with no one watching.....

My poor horse already looks at me like I am special and not in a good way.

My new hi vis with waterproof pockets at least allowed my phone to live through the experience.

I might have spent last night blow drying my hat dry (rather than caring for my children ?)

Exactly you need a kind of legionnaires waterproof cap that goes on your skull cap.

Ahhhhhh.......so that has been my problem!
