Big fan of Walz here but this cap's my favourite. Finding it in the bottom of a drawer this morning made me very happy. Super comfy in hot temps.
Given my unusual motoring history, the back of this cap makes it special to me.

Hi all.....ah yes! The CAP! 
Being now of a certain age - and starting to appreciate the whackiness of nostalgia for more care-free times (?), I threw in a request for a 'Planet X' (Actually - an 'On-One') cap with a little order of cyclinge knick-knacks from their great May/Clearance sale last week.
Very Cheap - deliciously black and white - classic cotton cut - minimal logo.
After much agonizing - I eschewed my helmet in favour of this the day it arrived. Hell.....I felt somehow liberated, yet strangely elated and anarchic and in touch with the whole cultural heritage of cyliingg. Very Sharp. Very Velominati.
Sadly - I still looked a bit of a prat and my skillz did not improve even slightly, But I like it. A lot.

I love wearing cycling caps, regardless of the weather, they're very useful. I bought a le coq TDF emblazoned one, and it was a bit tight, since then I treated myself to a rapha cap - a world above as they're actually designed for people who don't have pin heads.
I find their shop in Shepton Mallet awfully useful for a decent, and not too expensive cap (y)

I bought this the other day.
I ruined a couple of cycling caps by washing them in the washer,finding out the hard way that the powder fades them. Now i just rinse them under a cold tap and leave them to drip dry.

You must be the only person who buys the cycling kit first, and then buys a bike to match that!I bought this the other day.

Not even the kit. It was buying the bottle that stared it all!!
I can't use the bottle by the way. Well i can but only on the bike with a polycarbonate bottle cage. The others have alloy cages and alloy would mark the bottle which doesn't look very nice.

They say a picture paints a thousand words, but in this case just one will do, it begins with w and ends with anchors.
Take em off, it's not raining, you're indoors ffs! No doubt they're sipping their espressos with passion.
