Throwing shade
Summer is upon us, with its burning rays and
squint-inducing glare. Sunburn doesn’t do much
for your looks, not to mention comfort and the
long-term avoidance of melanoma, and shade
helps you see as you fettle your bike in the pits.
Solution? This stylish Kawasaki snap-back cap
with its flat peak.
