The Saddle Sore 1000

[Brasco]

I'm a retired Army pilot and we used a Nomex skullcap. I use a commercial one of these now ALL the time I use my helmet. Does a great job eliminating hot spot and absorbs sweat.

Was going to make a similar suggestion. Perhaps try a skullcap (or do-rag) that has flat lock stitching to minimize effect of the joints in the fabric seams. I wear one of these Cortech liners and it works great. If you have a cloth do-rag with prominent seams stitched together it can create a seriously painful hot spot.

Maybe a question of definition. My interpretation of 'hot spot' was the place that your helmet and skull maintain an interference clearance. Meaning the helmet is too small. It starts as a hot feeling at the point of contact and grows to an intolerable pain.

I might be wrong, but I think when the OP said he had a "hot spot", he meant a spot that became sore after awhile. Just guessin'.

Oh sh*t brain fa*t. Thanks....of course. Too much sun and vino.
