Painful where ribbon sewn into brim
Unfortunately this cap leaves a painful welt on my forehead where the ribbon is sewn into the brim, when I wear it with a helmet. I tried to wear the cap with two different helmets (of different brands) with the same effect.

Sizing Runs Very Small
Size chart says size S/M = 53-58cm, size M/L = 58-64 cm. I am a small woman and my head circumference is 56cm. I don’t have ‘big hair’. Bought the size S/M based on the size chart but the cap was tiny. Tried wearing it and stretching it but got a headache after a few minutes. Gave it to a friend’s 6yo who thought it was cool then bought another in size M/L - it fits snuggly.

Good cap with poor quality control
I have 3 of these caps and each is a slightly different size. They're great when they fit, but the inconsistency is really frustrating.

Decent
The cap looks nice, but feels cheap to the touch. The size (S) could be slightly larger (just a bit) so it doesn't feel so tight and doesn't give the impression that it will slip off - probably the same applies to other sizes. I recommend it if you're a big Rapha fan; otherwise, you might want to look for something else.

Too tight unless your head is made of wood/metal
The sizing of this cap is off. My head circumference is 3/4 inch less than the maximum range on the size chart. The caps should have fit and a previous version of the cap fit okay. I bought 2 of these and they were so tight that I had to cut the elastic and sew them back up. Even after cutting the elastic, the caps are maxed out. Other than that, the fabric is good and they look nice

Great Cap
Great cap but the sizes are smaller than indicated, as the elastic pulls tight into your head and will give you a headache in no time. If your head is towards the upper end of the S/M range, then get the large. Or do what I did and just cut the elastic and it fits perfectly.

Nice but very small
The cap is okay, but small, it does not fit a 53 head as advertised. Very tight. The peak is also so small it is useless. A fashion item really

Good fit and feel - tends to fade over time.
I wear the rapha caps mostly to protect my head from burning, and as I sweat alot, the peak acts to draw sweat away from my eyes where it can sting. The caps are good, but it doesn't take long for them to lose their colour and form. I ride very regularly with them, so they cop a lot of abuse, but it would be nice if they were a little hardier. Great fit though, and I keep coming back to them especially as the style is fairly neutral and matches well with other Rapha kit.

Upsize the cap, it really is a small fit
I bought the smaller sized cap despite the warnings of other reviews, and had to swap for the larger size. Upsize people! Also, I dont feel like the cap is symmetrical. It looks kinda wonky when I think I have it on straight. Still like the feel of the material, and has kept my noggin warm under the helmet during a chilly winter

Top hat !
This is coolest & sleekest bicycle cap I have ever owned (and I have bought many over the years). Well made in 100% cotton & good value for money, have received many compliments during my workouts. I use this cap for various outdoor activities other than bicycling & thoroughly enjoy wearing this brand products.

Great Cap, Great Store
I purchased this on-sale/clearance cap online while visiting Seattle's Rapha store which didn't have it in stock. I had an overwhelmingly positive experience at your store. I found the staff very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful for my needs as an older cycling enthusiast on a fixed income.

If that cap fits, wear it.
Simple cap that looks great and fits perfectly. It's a snug fit but that's how you want it, especially when you get sweaty. I find this cap is perfect for spring and fall riding. You'd think a cotton cycling cap would be a commodity but honestly this is a big cut above anything else I've tried.

THE big cap for a big head
Look, I know the rules. You can only wear one of these when you're on a bike. I get it. But seriously, this is the most comfortable cycling cap I've had on my big ol' bean and I kinda wanna wear it all the time. But like I said, I know the rules. I won't be doing anything rash.

Great hat, runs a bit small
Love the look and feel, sizing runs a little small. I have a small head but this small is too small. My head feels tight. I think I’ll take the hat to have the elastic relaxed. There is enough material but the elastic is too tight.

Does what it's supposed to do
Protects my head from sun that comes through gaps in my helmet. When worn backwards the visor protects back of my neck from the sun When worn with visor in front it protects glasses from rain. Be sure to get the right size.

Comfortable but doesn’t wick well
I find this very comfortable but find that it does not wick as well as other more obviously synthetic caps I have. Found the size guide to be fine for me and did not find that it was too small unlike other reviews.

Nice looking cap
Was not sure if I really needed it - I actually didn’t but bought it anyway. Now I am happy as it protects my head nicely under the helmet from the wind. Looking great and matches my Cannondale Slate color scheme

Great City Cap
I got the cap to wear while outside as I got bald to protect my head. Once I broke in the cap, it fit like a charm. I love that I can fold it up and out it in my bag ans it doesn't take up tons of space.

Great cap!
I have had several of these Rapha caps over the last 12 years, and this is my favorite. The material. The fit. The comfort. Had to buy another. It does the job it's "supposed" to do extremely well.

Looking good, but the M/L is still too tight.
My first Raph purchase in over a decade. My last purchase of anything Raph gear was direct from the NYC shop when it opened. So allot has changed in the last decade.
These hats have plenty of mixed reviews. Sadly I had to order the hat without trying them on in store, not having a store location in my current proximity now in Japan. They were having a great sale so i picked up 3 hats for the price of 1 and crossed my fingers.
I have a shaved head, and normally aim for hats and helmet sized in the 56-57-58 cm area. I ordered the M/L size of these version II hats and while they fit very snug as they should, they are still a cm or too tight for all day comfort.
The hat leaves a line impression across my forehead which is not the best look ordering a coffee, but whatever, it soaks up the sweat and the visor is made very nice to pair with my Kask Protone helmet.
I am about to give the hats a proper cold wash in the machine this week and fingers crossed they don't get any smaller. So that will def be the real test of if i am able to make another blind purchase with current Rapha gear currently.

Quality caps that stay crisp after multiple was
After wearing most caps and sweating in them, and then washing them, they usually never are the same. Rapha Caps stand up to the sweat and the washing and look great over and over...

Comfy Cap for Sunny Summer/Spring Days
The cap is pretty comfy. Keeps the sun out of my eyes and sort of acts like a bit of a sweatband in hot weather. My only complaint is maybe that the visor could be a bit longer.

Small fit, high Quality
Great fit for anyone with a smaller head. Nice quality and when worn under a helmet there are no uncomfortable seams pressing against the crown of your head.

Nicely made cap but even though I purchased a M/L it was a bit too tight even though I think I am average size. High quality products from Rapha.

Classic cycling cap
A classic cycling cap with understated color. Great for cooler temperature, below 75, and to give some sun protection without being too hot.
