I’m a fleet mechanic for my local town, and a lot of my time is spent on (and under) garbage trucks, dump bodies, and heavy equipment. I’ve got long hair, so I always keep it back in a braid and have always worn a ball cap to try and keep off the majority of the gunk. Previously when I was working on more automotive and small engine that was sufficient, but not so much now. Especially working underneath, I’m constantly either loosing the hat, having the brim catch on things or block my view, or dragging the braid through grease. I’ve thought about trying a welding cap. Any other suggestions for good headwear solutions?

I have recieved a great deal for a snap on 73" box that was 11,840 and down to a purchase price to 5,670. I'm not kidding whatsoever! This offer is until October 22nd, 2026. I work at a fleet diesel company, work a 4 day work week and I make above 25 an hour. I work for a great company too. I'll be paying 80 per week but they offered a weekly payment of $50 per week but pay it off higher to better my interest.

Take it or leave it?
