and wear any good road helmet. The skull cap is not hot, quite the contrary. Might be cooler. Actually, buy 2 or 3 of them so you don't have to wash your only one after every ride. I've done mountain passes at 105° in one of these. It's fine. For a helmet, I use the Specialized Echelon II, which now has MIPS. About $100, but it's your head.
Just this weekend, I got this condition. When I put on the sunscreen, I didn't think to put it on the top of my head before going out on a long ride, and now it looks like an airplane used the top of my head as a runway...
