ML and its gear partners have selected seven sweet summer hats, helmets & sunnies here in alpha order.

Bollé Chimera
The new CHIMERA is a retro-futuristic frame designed for the city as much as for the great wide open. The wrap lens—available in Volt+, their revolutionary high-contrast technology—provides extra protection and a wide field of view. Comfort and stability are ensured by Bolle’s high performance features such as the Thermogrip rubber on the temple tips and nose pads. www.bolle.com

BUFF Adventure Bucket Hat
The ADVENTURE BUCKET HAT is a technical summer topper with a timeless trekking style that offers protection against the sun and light rain while also providing all-day comfort and breathability. We especially like the convenient self-storage pocket to easily pack the hat away when not in use. www.buff.com

The FOX V1 KARRERA HELMET delivers elevated features, safety, and comfort to everyday dirt-bike riders, making it one of the most competitive motocross helmets out there. Marrying safety, fit, and feel, the V1 is a value helmet with a performance mindset. Designed with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) technology—proven to reduce rotational forces on impact—and a visor designed to release in the event of a crash, the V1 gives you peace of mind on every ride.
