Hi everyone,
I'm new here, haven't got my saber yet, t'will be my birthday present.
Anyway, I was wondering for people with Sith Acolyte or Revan masks what they use to cover up the rest of their head.
I live in a bloody hot climate (Overseas in Thailand) and wearing a balaclava in this weather would be... unpleasant to say the least.
So would anyone have any suggestions for how someone would do that without boiling the flesh on their face?
The idea for this cosplay is a younger Revan, during the Mandalorian Wars, which I'll be starting once I finish my final exams in May. Any suggestions for how I should do things are seriously welcome.

The only think I can think of would be to attach a "hood" made of some loosely woven black cloth to the edges of the mask.  That would at least eliminate the double layer under the mask.

While I don't have a Revan costume myself, I do have a very thin balaclava that I will use if I ever do make the costume.  It's lycra/spandex type of material and just has one large hole for the eyes, so it can also be worn with the bottom portion pulled down under the chin.  I use it for cross-country skiing as it is just thick enough to block wind, but doesn't hold in too much heat.  I believe it came from REI, if that's in any way helpful.

This isn't the one I have, but it was the one with the closest type of fabric: http://www.rei.com/product/801665/rei-performance-headliner
