jps246 says "The Windpro Peruvian Hat protects my head and ears from the wind" about Outdoor Research WindPro Peruvian Hat

The Peruvian Hat from Outdoor Research is a great way to keep your head and your ears warm. It's made from the Windstopper fleece fabric, which is a fleece fabric that blocks the wind, but allows moisture from yours sweat to escape while you are wearing the hat, which keeps your head warm, but dry.

Like all fleece, this fabric is comfortable to wear against your head and provides fairly complete wind protection for your head, while still remaining breathable enough that you won't sweat like crazy while you are wearing the hat. You still will sweat, especially the more you exert yourself, but the hat lets that moisture escape while still blocking the wind.

The Windstopper fabric of the hat works well. Unlike some other windproof fleece hats that fit closely to your head, the Peruvian Hat isn't quite as clammy or tight fitting. The hat is tailored so that it is slightly fitted - and is trimmed out with lycra so that it pulls up slightly against your head for a snug fit. The two full size...

Of course, grounding Indy's adventures in a realistic setting meant that Deborah Nadoolman, costume designer for Raiders of the Lost Ark, executive producer Lucas, and director Steven Spielberg had to take their inspiration for Indy's "look" from fashions of the period as well as similarly-themed films such as The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Secrets of the Incas.

Those movies, which featured such "tough guys" as Humphrey Bogart and Charlton Heston in roles similar......

Harley-Davidson Men's Motorcycle Gauntlets

Certainly getting a new motorcycle got me in touch with my inner shopper. I have since been busy doing more shopping than I have in years.

Typical of my new purchases have been jackets, boots, and a helmet, all protective gear for riding that everybody ought to consider. Stones, debris, and even bumblebees sometimes smack into you as you rocket along the highway. If you're covered, no problem. If not? It can be messy or even dangerous.

These gloves are from Harley-Davidson Motorclothes and they are available at Harley-Davidson dealer showrooms or on various websites. They are called Men's Stock Gauntlet Gloves and are made of premium goatskin leather with a high cuff that covers the cuffs of your motorcycle jacket, giving you a windcheating profile when you travel at high speed - no wind blowing up your cuffs. The exterior of each cuff has a full color Harley-Davidson bar and shield logo that goes with the rest of your riding gear, and of......
