I'm new to Morgan. I pick up my 2003 Plus 8 in two weeks. My biggest worry is what my wife will wear on her head to deal with the breeze. She's never worn a beanie and she never will. Don't even think about suggesting a flying helmet. I suspect the buffeting may be more severe than in our Boxster, and I don't want to resort to hood up driving.
What do other co pilots/navigators wear?

"Silliest warm hat" is going to be a difficult one to sell!

Mine takes at least 3 hats on every road trip in the Morgan to cover all temperature eventualities predicted. She has at least 10 to choose from. Leather flying helmet seems to be spring and autumn. Cotton flying helmet gets more use in the summer. A furry owl based hat is used in winter. I could go on.
The thing to remember is not the style of the hat. Rather, it is the style of the hair when the hat is removed. Getting that part wrong is nearly as bad as her being too cold.

Oh I think that is the main consideration! Can't see her putting a flying helmet on though.
She likes hoods.
Do they work, or do they carry too much drag?

Whats the issue? Long hair? Chill? Not wanting to be seen? Scarf for the hair. High collar clothing or jacket (oh goodie a new jacket) for her neck/shoulders. Skiing neck cover also good for chill. https://youtu.be/uInrLdu7qrE https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/943154 Also doubles for spontanious bank jobs. https://youtu.be/uInrLdu7qrE
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
