Skull caps with neck protection
Anyone know of a skull cap that also covers the neck that doesn't have elastic in it? I have a skull cap and the elastic feels like my head is in a vice. I would prefer something that ties on or has an adjustable strap.
Halo makes one that is called a solar but it looks like it has an elastic band on it.

I was given a skull cap but can't stand the tightness around my head. I can wear hats but anything with an elastic band bothers me. Looking for alternatives and would prefer a tail on so my neck doesn't get burned.

I put sunblock on my arms, tops of my knees, ears, face and back of my neck.

I do use sunblock from time to time but haven't been using it faithfully. I could do without the tail and use sunblock. The most important part is eliminating the elastic band. I would use a baseball hat but they get too hot.

I have a Voler Sol Skin UV Protector Skully Cap. I got it when it was on sale at the end of last season, so I don't know how well it works in the summer.
