Sorry, Patrick, I haven't tried their cotton caps before. So, I don't know about sizing. You may want to measure your dome and give them a ring. I hear their customer service is very good. The wool caps I have from them are super stretchy--no discomfort at all for me, unlike some of the other wool

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.

Thanks, and I'd certainly like one for hiking, but for cycling, missing #2 by so long a mile is no go. Actually, with our wind and the extra aerofoil surfaces, this would probably miss #1 by a long mile, too. On Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 12:17 PM, Deacon Patrick lamontg...@mac.com wrote: A medium

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

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
