  1. I still haven't got round to ordering one - I keep putting it off
    because I don't know what size to order.

    Does anyone here have either a regular or x-small cap, and access to a
    friend or child with a head of around 56cm diameter?

    If you have an x-small, is it big enough for a head of that size?

    If you have a regular, is it tight enough to stay on at speed?

    Not a perfect answer, but it may provide an insight into their sizing.
    My head is a shade over 60cm, and their "large" (60cm+) is just the
    right size.

    Thanks Mark. I phoned Rapha this morning and spoke to a very helpful
    lady who told me that the x-small is only slightly smaller than the
    regular, being made to fit head sizes up to about 58cm. So I ordered one.

    She also told me that they're moving production, and that there won't be
    any more regular ones until the end of September.

    Give them a call! At that cost the least they can do is measure one
    for you.

    Mine measures 52cm internally. There is an elastic section at the back.
    It is a medium - though strangely there are no sizes marked on any Rapha
    caps, I believe there is a white tab or something.

    Anyway, my cap stays on and makes me look like a young Brad Pitt.
