Did you ever feel like smacking someone upside the head that was annoying you?..........("Yea, every time we read one of your posts MT" ;D ) If so you might consider professional help or becoming involved in MMA.

This post is about being a hot head.....literally instead of figuratively. Sometimes we overlook obvious solutions to problems. When I hike or paddle I tend to run a bit hot. I have learned to run in a visor as opposed to any other kind of hat. As most outdoors folk know, one of the chief places you lose heat is through the top of your head. Most people apply this knowledge to cold situations but I also apply it to hot situations. If you run hot consider a visor, it really makes a big difference.

You must bring your regular hat as well however. If the horse flies or deer flies are about they will have a field day with your unprotected head. But even in the summer I can usually run with the visor at least 1/2 the time.
