Wind baffles and roll bars
Discussion
I can't help thinking that my rollbar here would be an ideal frame to have a collapsible fabric mesh wind baffle like you see on many a modern convertible.
I wondered (and don't hold out much hope) if someone else had had the same idea and done something about it or knows of a supplier of such a thing.
I was thinking a fine black mesh cut to shape and strapped to the two uprights and the horizontal with strong velcro, or some kind of clip that's easily removed but will hold it tight enough to not flap about.
Feel free to tell me to stop being a t
t, but on long journeys or when the wind is a little bit nippy but you want the roof down, I reckon it'd be a good idea.

plus a good jacket and a pair of gloves from a cycling shop (warm but with a good grip on them) keep me really cosy no matter how cold it gets.

thats where the targa style roof comes in
Maybe it's cos I'm a bit taller but I find that I get a real buffeting effect on my head with the rear section up so I'll stick with the hat & gloves I find that the targa up isn't that much better and is like a parachute slowing me down.
As for hats, I'm really looking for a solution that means my passengers are more comfortable without having to don special clothing on those iffy days when a slightly nippy wind can be the difference between having the roof down and being given 'the look' when I suggest it and having to go for a quieter life with the roof up.
