Dont know exactly how your situation compares but I used to work in a heavy industrial atmosphere. I always thought it would be but I can see now after wearing a while, it would have been a real pain in the butt !! I is possible and I'm sure guys do it but OMG....Hats, heat, dirt, wind, sweat, sun, would play havoc on a hair piece and its wearer ...but thats just my opinion.
