Red Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have been using a SLICKs helmet liner (beanie) for a very long time. It is on its last legs and I need a replacement. I went to the all knowing internet and cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know if they are still available? If yes, where? If they are not available, does anyone have experience with the LDComfort helmet liner cap? If so, I'd be very interested in your review of the LDComfort product. I sweat more than your average person. If I don't use a liner, my foam liner gets nasty quickly. I also must wear glasses. The helmet liner allows me to get my helmet AND glasses on with minimal hassle. Riding without a liner is really not a viable option for me. I'm not wild about doo rags for a variety of reasons.

szurszewski Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I haven't tried the LD stuff as a helmet liner but I have used some of their other stuff and played with fabric at their booth at the motoshow. It's pretty neat material - works very well at moving moisture and it's a bit thick which could be good if you're producing a lot of sweat. Looks like the LD liner is $22 on their site - I think its worthy of that investment to try out. josh Link to comment
Bodhi65 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have 2 pair of LD comfort shorts, great product. Link to comment
JR356 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Very satisfied with LD Comfort headliner:thumbsup: Have been using one for 4-5 yrs,just picked up a new one at the BMWMOA rally in SLC. Also consistently wear LD Comfort longs(top and bottoms) All just got me thru 2 weeks of mostly 90-100 plus(saw 111 in Redding,CA on return leg home)weather,with occasional dips to low 40's in early am's. Mario(Mr.LD Comfort) recommends the cap with tail and ties as opposed to the beanie cap,due to neck coverage and I agree. JR356 Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I went through a couple of different liners due to cranial leakage when hot. I now just go to Big 5 or some other sporting goods and buy the thinnest ski cap liner I can find. Found a couple of cheap ones a few years back on the interwebs too. I trim around the ears to avoid pressure from the temples of my sunglasses. Link to comment

Green RT Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have a doo rag made by Harley Davidson. Works great and is stylish enough that it can be worn without a helmet. Harley Doo Rags Link to comment
Skywagon Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I have a couple from these guys. Don't think I bought them on line. I think I got them at the Lonestar Rally. My head leaks profusely too when covered so wicking cap is required for me. One says DoWrap performance headgear and one of the others says sweat vac. No tails...just round. http://www.dowrap.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=DWMWC&Product_Code=SVSC-WHT&Category_Code=SVSC http://www.dowrap.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=DWMWC&Category_Code=ROCKSHOX Edited August 1, 2017 by Skywagon Link to comment
flars Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I had a Slick and loved it...until I lost it. The good thing about the design was there wasn't a ridge around the edge. Most liners, including the LD Comfort (which I have) have a pretty thick ridge that irritates the heck out of my forehead. I can't wear the LDC for longer than about 10 minutes. Link to comment
JustKrusen Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thin and light. Been using these since 1997 and over 500,000 miles. Black Cotton helmet liner Link to comment
LittleBriar Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I like the LD liner because it covers my neck which is prone to chafing when things get hot and sticky. Link to comment

scout6 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I like these - found when looking for a silk. http://cyclecrafts.net/?product=silky-helmet-liner Link to comment
Red Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Those silky's look interesting. They tug at my heart strings cuz they look like and sound like my trusted and effective SLICK's. Unfortunately, absolutely no information about them. I'm leaning toward the LD Comfort product at the moment as I have used their riding shorts for years and found them a quality of life changer in comfort. Thank ewe all for your references and shared experience in hell mutt liners. I now have to make a decision. It's now an informed decision . This board is really a treasure, but you knew that.

flars Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have the Silky...the seam is too big across the forehead, and the two seams running down the crown are also thick. Link to comment
Mike Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I think Sliks is defunct. They were purchased ny Cycle Gadgets, which subsequently closed their doors. Link to comment
