    Good source of energy and potassium. A little hard to carry.

    Wicking sweat most of the time. I wear a buff or bandana under the helmet in all weathers (I have long hair). Usually comes off soaking no matter what the weather.

    If you have kids over the age of about 7 bandannas have the bonus of horrifying them. I don't think I've ever worn anything that got the reaction a bandanna did....
