Some caps are better designed than others. I haven't found that with our Simpson cap, but only have burned in up to 50 mph winds.

Nothing preventing the wind on that cap, if you have blowback issues look for a cap like this:
Every time I see this it reminds me of a) a Spanish Conquistador's helmet and b) the back half of a Viper (Battlestar Gallactica reference.)

The only problem I would expect on this type of cap is that the screen will plug up rather quickly and you may have to cut some of the screen to give it bigger holes.
