Good idea, bad design.

I bought this to use for trail running and it has very poor sun coverage. It isn't very long in the back and it doesn't give any side coverage. I do not recommend this product.

Not too cute but great for a hot summer hike! Kind of fun to use :)

Yep it's a little dorky, but for cycling it is freaking great!

Happy with Sundays

I purchased this Solar Curtain to wear with my Sunday Afternoon's kid's Impulse cap. It works great! I have a small head and the kid's Impulse Cap is perfect. The Solar Curtain fits right over it, but is a bit loose, which is okay as it doesn't add tightness to my head, but some adjustability would be nice. It's just the right size and configuration to protect my neck and still allow air flow. Also, it's super easy to stash in pocket, purse or pack.

Perfect for my riding helmet

I took a chance that this would work on my equestrian helmet. The fit is snug and is perfect for shading my neck on a summer ride.

Nifty idea!

Great sun protection to wear with hats that lack such protection

Solar curtain ROCKS

It so perfectly covers the right area—neck AND ears, adds a sunglasses hider to any hat, and so well designed

Solar Curtain O/S Cream

The curtain was too short and didn’t cover my neck
