The model says," with no shoulder on the road,and traffic whizzing by at 60 mph,I need all this 'glow-in-the-dark' clothing to help save my bacon-ettes!"

At some point I'll score the sides of the brim,break them over,down at a 90-degree and re-tape.It will give the sun protection for ears and neck,but with less width.

I really want to mount the whole affair 'above' me on some sort of curved spar.I'd have shade,maximum airflow over the skin,and a wind gust wouldn't put any load on my neck,something I had to be mindful of.
