This is so funny to me. First drive out in my 71 with the back window out and the tops off... had on a cheap gimme cap I got from work but it was comfy and I like the color. Had several close calls during the day where it started feeling light on my head and I reached up and pulled it down some. Then all of a sudden.... whoosh.... it was gone. Right out the back window. Wasn't worth going back for.
I have passed on so many of those cheap ball caps. I guess I won't pass on them anymore.

I have the Y-56 T-Top Carrier package on my '80 (Some call it the Butterfly Carrier) and I've had my hats blow off and get caught under it. I actually watched it in my rear view mirror once. I was driving about 50 mph and my hat lifted off my head, slid across the top and down the back window to get stuck under the tops. I just pulled over, retrieved my hat, tightened the band a little, and continued my trip.

I picked up a 'wind jammer' in my travels... It looks like a little 6" bug screen that bolts right to the T-top mounting locations... Effectively it pushes all the air up/over the cab. With the windows down it will still get air inside... With the windows up, almost all air goes up/over the cab... Lemme see if I've got any decent pics that show it..

Being "folically challenged", I have to wear a hat or suffer the painful result of to much sun. I also wear a Tilley on most occasions, but I sure love ball caps! I can usually feel them loosen up just before lift-off, but I've lost a couple anyway. These were lost when I had MGB's, not in my Vette, which seems to have a 'calmer' cockpit.
