I love cycling caps so much, thats all there is too it. I have Vintage Italian caps, current team caps, store caps, etc. Its hard to find a cap that fits me because I have a big dome, plus a large amount of hair. So pace caps are hard to wear cause they are small. But I just ordered a Walz cap and I just want to say, its AMAZING. They have two sizes, s/m and l/lx. The l/xl is almost too big even, its great. Plus Walz has cotton, fleece, wool, hemp caps in a bunch of different colors and the prices are awesome. Anyone else have a cap company they dig a lot?

My favorite cap is my Masi cap from the 70's its fugly orange and the bill is all jacked up and sewn crooked, its baller.

Walz is actually a great company. They're family owned and all of their hats are handmade. Quality is top notch.
I don't remember who made the Surly cap that was out a while ago but that thing was all nice.
Pace is fine but kinda uncomfortable for me.

nice quality hats, made by hand and you never find the same hat twice. and you can get cool screenprints on them like bugs, fleur-di-lis (sp?), bike stuff whatever. i own three of them, one has earflaps for cold days. its great.

if you're ever in mpls, find a shop that carries them and buy one, they are nice.

What's the story with cycling caps anyway? Is there a function/point to them?

my most popular of the last few months is a black hat with the 'days of thunder' movie title in hot pink across the front, cut and modified into a cycling cap. flips just the same and gets compliments all time. 50 cent thrift find and 15 minutes..

Nope. Come to think of it pants don't serve much of a purpose either. Undies only from now on!

Or there's the nudist contingent that's trying to carve out some turf for themselves in San Francisco's Critical Mass..

- They keep the sun out of your eyes.
- Partial bug barrier.
- They cut down on sweat in the eyes.
- They keep your hair strapped down.
- They keep your bald spot from getting all blistery.
- When in civilian dress, they serve the same ID function for cyclists that blue/red bandanas serve for the Crips and the Bloods.
- Prior to UCI's requirement that all racers wear helmets (late '80s?), it was the only protection most cyclists had, besides chamois in their shorts.

Fair enough! Good points well made. I particularly like the functionality of the cap protecting your bald spot whilst simultaneously keeping your flowing locks out of your eyes. Good for gentlemen like this: http://www.gaylonghair.com/longhairs/?brucew.
