Patrick As a large cranium'd human, I've followed this thread with interest. My Scandinavian/Scottish HAIRitage has my skull more thinly and flatly turfed than yours but I think the sheer volume of my 7-7/8 hat size still qualifies me in melon-headedness. I'd like you to do the following. Please buy three (3) (III) of these: http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/ctxtv.wmppt/v/vspfiles/photos/ac8L-1.jpg?1355759760 Why three? (3!) Excellent question. I've found that sizing variation in some garments provide inconsistent fit (and more importantly feel), so I absolutely cannot commit to purchasing any until you provide me a detailed report. Furthermore, please keep track of each of the three, as I must know how fit and performance evolves over time with use and more importantly over washings (and please PLEASE do not forget to keep track of feel). Do they soften and wear in? Or become lumpy and shapeless (I will not countenance G-D shapelessness!) Does the drawstring provide enough security in the face of, say 30-35mph headwinds, particularly from the front right? I've found I duck into headwinds a little to the left, so rightward biased headwinds are particularly threatening to dislodge my chapeau. Does any security come at the expense of constriction when climbing? Particularly with a slow metronomic meditative cadence in a ~67 gear? I will not have my meditation-climbing interrupted by a restrictive lid! Is there uniformity in shrinkage with washings? If so, in what way, please limit no details, I can take the full truth. Is the seaming sufficiently reinforced. If not, can you please provide three (3) seamstress estimate quotes for necessary alterations and reinforcements. Thanks!

[RBW] Re: Best summer cycling caps?
Indeed, Patrick. I wear it in wooded areas and generally take it off for long descents. Though I've been amazed how well it stays on with the straps. In general, though It works great to shelter from sun, and in a given day the amount of time on long descents is fairly short, so I'm happy to get sun for it. Grin. Bill, I figured since 2 was a non-negotiable it would be DQed, but better to have choices beyond the scope that may work in unexpected ways. Also I interpret yuppy pricing on a Riv group to mean high price/low value/high fashion. High(er) price, yes but Tilley is hardly the other two. Grin.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best summer cycling caps?
Not quite so; I don't mind using non-cycling-specific caps, though these are naturally good since they are designed for cycling. FWIW, the best *winter* caps I've found so far are faux-Peruvian Indian caps, knit of wool with ear flaps and under-chin ties. They look decent, too. The sole defect is lack of a short brim -- and that is indeed a sore lack, alas. Otherwise, warm, cover the ears without riding up, look good, low-priced Mine is rather like this one without the front flap. Made of recycled wool, but even the red acrylic one is great.
