warm cycling cap for baldybloke?

[dellzeqq]

Now I've given up h*****s my little stretch under-h****t cap no longer does the job. What I'd really like is a cross between a woolly hat and a cycling hat - with a peak to keep the rain of my specs and the oncoming lights out of my eyes.

Any ideas?

Dell-boy, try a chandlers or dinghy sailing shop. Those afloat have similar issues and a yachtie shop should offer many alternatives.

A quick Google turned up a couple from an Angling shop. Somewhere like Decathalon, if you have a local, might have an alternative.

how about this?

try a buff with peak, if it's really pelting it down then stick a normal buff on top and never get cold. buffs last for at least a decade, take up no room, dry easy and don't smell if repeat use between washes is needed. cheap as well

Buff over cycling cap works for me. The colour co-ordination and combinations are as endless as your supply of buffs/cycling caps.

The Decathlon hat in Norms link looks like what I keep thinking of buying but I can't face spending money when the b + cc thing works so well.

I knew that I'd find the one I have if I looked hard enough.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Berghaus Paclite cap. Goretex shell, wired peak, fleece lined and little flappy bits to come down over the ears.

very nice, but a bit expensive tho. for me anyway

Dell, I have the Rapha Cap which you're welcome to inspect/try on at the next FNRttC.

I find I only need it on the coldest days/nights as it's very warm.

It will complement your recent Carradice purchase very nicely.

Endura have released a Merino flat cap:

Why do Decathlon say "designed for wearing by the sea in order to protect your head from the cold". Does it smell of limpets or something? How does it know where you are wearing it?

Because it is O'Neill surf wear.
