Had a few "one size fits all", but they are all slightly on the big side. Are there any out there that bit smaller?

thanks

    I got a Mavic one that I sent back as it was too tight on my swede (which isn't especially big)

    +1 for the Mavic Roadie cap. I have a smaller head and fits well. Also have a Giro Peloton which seems to be a similar fit, and similar breathable material. Sportful Fiandre cap a little larger but still fits me.

    Rapha do sizes on most of their caps too, I had a medium as a gift but it was too small.

    The Walz caps are nicely finished BUT I find that the peak too easily flips to the down position when it is windy. This tends to happen at the most inappropriate moment - steep downhill - when you don't want to take a hand off the bars. It has nearly caused me to crash. The material is a soft, breathable style synthetic style.

    As a result mine is confined to the spares drawer and I am back to using a more traditional cotton style cap which is a bit stiffer.

    (I even went as far as putting a bit of velcro on the front of my helmet in the hope that the peak would stuck to it. It doesn't.)

    I've got a Pace cotton cap which is even a little tight on my small head. http://www.pacesportswear.com/headwear.aspx
