Great hat, but a little tight

The hat fits on my head, but my head circumference is 23", at the high end of the recommended size range for M. The elastic makes it a little tight on my head. Otherwise, the hat performs very well - blocks the brightness between the top of my shades and the rim of the helmet, controls sweat to a reasonable degree, and most importantly it shades my bald head from the sun! I wish white L was available.

Amazing little hat, wicks away

Amazing little hat, wicks away sweat and it’s non-intrusive with the helmet! It’s perfect for people like me who have helmet hair issues haha. Someone said M fits most but I actually had to go a size up. For reference I have an average head shape and wear between M & L in Motorcycle helmets for those of you that ride motorcycles. M fits but L in this hat fits better with my cycling helmet. I have one in every color.

I was using a Buff

I was using a Buff for sweat management, but I needed a visor to shield the sun from my eyes. This cap serves both purposes, and is very comfortable. A medium size fits perfectly and will for most people.

The Best Cycling Cap!

I have tried a few different cycling caps and their visors would flap about from the wind impact. Not this cap. The visor is sturdy, non-intrusive and blocks the sun from my eyes. I love that it is light weight, breathable and has UV protection to protect my hair from sun damage. I will be buying a couple more for spares.

Best cap I've found. I don't leave home without a cap under my helmet to protect from the sun. A lot of caps fit goofy, or have a flimsy bill that flops down in front of my eyes when i pick up speed. This hat is the best.

OK

If you have hair, the fabric is slippery and kinds pulls off. BUT it stays in place under a helmet and protects you from the sun. Most people would probably fit a Medium.
