    Anyone know of a good stockist of these - that isn't looking for exorbitant money for one? I was in the UK last week and want to pick up a few, but with (admittedly good quality) caps fetching £15, I opted not to buy. :eek:

    They are not that easy to come by, and I'd rather one that wasn't Proteam branded.............

    Planet X have them at very reasonable prices............until you add in £5/€6.50 for postage

    All mine are heavy cloth, are there any made from lighter sweat-wicking material? So I can have a peak even when it's too warm to be wearing a proper cap.

    I got the Wiggle/Honda cap recently, not too heavy and an excellent fit (in my case) I have a narrow head (57cm) and found others were too loose on me as they're generally one size fits all (except me)

    Surely such a garment would violate Rule 5

    If that were the case, not wearing full winter gear in summer would also. Which seems nonsensical.

    In that case I'll refer you to rule....well basically all of them.

    Prendas.co.uk Nearly all caps are €9.10 P+P £2.95(€3.70)
    Mainly retro or own branding.

    Rule 22 seems to permit the use of said garments but only for patrons engaged in the act of bicycling or any pre or post ancillary velomatic activities.

    There is a great selection at Planet-X
    http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLAPCOCAP/apis-cotton-cycling-cap with current and classic styles available for just over €6 - so a good deal.
    I'm going to get a couple and also build up a small order of other bits to avoid the postage for just one item.

    https://this-is-cambridge.com ... handmade casquettes. They're pricey compared to others but oozing panache!

    There is certainly a great selection there. I think I'll get a few myself :)
