Hi

Can anyone recommend a hat that'll fit under my helmet and:
i) comes in large / xl (tried a couple of one size fits all hats on today including Enduro baa baa - too tight)
ii) preferably merino wool
iii) has a peak to keep the sun out of my eyes
iv) will cover my ears

Thanks a lot, D

    I've had one of their medium storm caps for a while, originally got a large which was huge on me and i normally the find the usual one size fits all aps unbearable tight. Not merino wool though...

  • Walz caps come in very very big sizes.

    OP wants it to be bigger! this guy may have a big head but the hat is small, and doesn't cover the ears! Jeez, I thought this forum was supposed to help people!

    This however meets the OP's needs.

    Not sure why you would need merino wool, far too hot.
    If you need merino wool due to living properly up north you won't need a peak as there is no sun. haven't you heard, it's grim up north!
  • I remember someone mentioning Walz caps in a previous post about large hats. Never tried them myself so can't recommend on sizing, but might be worth looking into. http://www.walzcaps.com/
  • Went with Walz for the bike and the other 3 for generally being a man about town. Thanks!
