Cycling Caps for the Bigger Brained
Most cycle caps seem to be "one size" which I often find too tight. Are there any brands that are larger than others?
Regards,
Mekon

The older Rapha caps came in three sizes... as a large header, I found the Large size perfect. You can find NOS or used ones on ebay. The current version is 'one size (doesn't) fit all'.
Otherwise, some of the 'replica' caps on ebay are cut fairly generously, I've found, I got nice Colnago Del Tongo and St Raphäel caps that fit well.
Remember if it all goes wrong you can sue them for not putting MIPS in your hat
You can get these Belgian design tech caps in an XL size (62cm)

I've got a large noggin (~62cm) and find that "one size fits all", well, doesn't... I love my Rapha L/XL cap though, only bit of Rapha I own.
It's the only hat brand I'm aware of (that does multiple sizes) that has physical stores so you can try them on.
I suffer the same issue. I’m amazed that this hasn’t been picked up by manufacturers. Surprise surprise, people’s heads are different just like everything else.
i find Rapha hats are more forgiving, but there are some businesses on eBay that do nice single colour caps in different sizes if you look.
The worst cap I ever tried was actually a Vulpine one.
They did two sizes: the smaller one wouldn't even fit on my head at all, and the larger one only fitted my head (just!) if I had just buzzed my hair back to its summer plumage (
).
Best fitting cap I own is a Walz cotton cap - this one

in a Large/Extra Large.
I got a Van Rysel cap from Decathlon, first one thats ever fitted properly, from doing a wee search it seems they are (not surprisingly) and own brand
Being relatively large of noggin myself, I find the Decathlon cycling caps quite comfortable despite being one size
Bob Mortimer knew a lad with a big head; called him a sniper's dream.

Walz do S/M and L/XL in all their caps - I have a couple of their's, in the 'big' size.
