Woman's Hat for Boxster
 
What is a good style of hat for a woman to ride in a Boxster with. After my wife's first top down ride she asked "What kind of hat should I get?"

My Wife just wears a ball cap "Porsche"

Scarf and sunglasses. Classic, timeless look, won't blow off, and no hat hair when she removes the scarf.

Best hat is the wind screen.

Do you all not have those (asking because I'm wondering, not being snarky)?

I have pretty long hair, and I don't use a hat or anything and it's only a little mussed, not a big deal.

My wife wears either a ball cap or scarf depending on whether the event we are heading to is sporty or elegant. She usually prefers to take the Lex though because racing seats are primitive and difficult to exit gracefully without pulling a "Brittany Spears". Minor wife tossing has also occurred due to irrational exuberance when heading through the canyons. :o

I have the wind screen and even with that speeds above 45 mess up the wife's hair. :p

She loves the hardtop. Haha.

My gf puts her long hair up with 2 clips when the top's down. She loves riding in the convertible. :)

I have a wind blocker and drive with the windows up. Even so, my wife has to wear a scarf or she complains of tangled and broken hair. I'm not a huge fan of the current setup as it looks a bit like a cross between a Nun's habit and a khimar (think Burqa with no face covering). I will be following this thread for advice...

@ shadrach74, Fintro11, Porsche9

After I posted, I did remember this point; it's worse on the passenger side! :eek: I swear these cars are built and balanced for the driver only. The stereo sounds better for the driver, the driver doesn't get "Porsche neck" from fast turns, and there's less wind.

The couple of times I've been in the passenger side, it has been slightly annoying.

A quick hair wrap up with a scrunchy doesn't take care of it? :confused: I'm not a fan of scarves in general, though.

Awesome!!! I said the same thing...I will let her know that you implied that she was high maintenance.:p:cool:

Somebody off line told her to go with the Jackie Onasis look, aka, scarf and sunglasses. She tried that today, as we took the day off to go to a show in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Once we pulled off the highway and stopped for some construction I put the top down while she put on a scarf. The weather was cool (14°C aka 58°F) and dropping, but she did great. After the show we took a drive along the Niagara parkway, top down to Niagara falls. Nice road, low speed, and she was fine with the top down. She had been concerned, due to some eye issues, with the wind drying out her eyes and blowing dust into them, but with the windows up, good sunglasses and windscreen in place she is finding it fine. At least with the scarf I don't get complaints of helmet hair, like I do whenever I take her on the bike. So it looks like we have a solution.

Me, I need a few more driving caps to keep the sun off my head. And maybe a can of sunscreen in the glove box.

Any hat will do if you staple it to her scalp!!!!!!!:eek:
