Need to get me that cap, it looks delicious!
Light at the home studio looks so much better already. Kudos!
With all due respect Russ, make that partypace logo huge. That's half the fun of the cycling cap.
knowing next to nothing about cycling history, I totally assumed they designed cycling caps to fit underneath a road helmet 😂
Nice looking cap, but £48? That's a joke, right?
My forehead sweats so much that a casquette under the helmet is a must. The hat soaks up the sweat and when it gets really hot the sweat drips off of the bill, not on to my face. Kudos for knowing who Nelson Vails is.
Party pace logo looks sick
I don't like wearing one under my helmet, but I carry a cap for the coffee stop. My bald head burns in the sun, so It's nice to pop on a hat that I can keep folded up in a jersey pocket.
Nice work designing this one. Looks like a quality product.
Still rocking the cap, off and on the bike!
I wear a cycling cap in summer.
Russ, they are wearing military-style berets in the movie at about 1:06 minutes in your video.
That is infact a red beret. The same color and type as airborne soldiers in the US army. It’s not a flat cap
skull caps have kind of replaced them under the helmet.
I think the first cycling cap I remember seeing was worn by the cabbie character is Crocodile Dundee
I hate to be picky, but the Kevin Bacon movie Quicksilver was set in San Francisco, not New York. When Bacon's character goes back to the stock exchange his pass says "PSE" on it for Pacific Stock Exchange (it's a block off Sutter Street).
as a bald dude, I ALWAYS wear a cap under my helmet. I don't want vent tan on my scalp haha
i wear them!
Cycling caps in UK and colder EU countries are still a big thing
I wore the same yellow Campy cap (a la Breaking Away) for every race when I was a junior. It was my lucky cap. But I never won a solo race so guess it didn’t do shit.
I wear them in warm months to prevent sunburns through the helmet vents and in the cold months to stay warm.
Cuz!!!! We prioritized helmets!
Bravo..what a cool topic and sweet merch plug.
I still wear one because it still serves a purpose.
Does the barrel on the bungee interfere with any of the helmets you’ve used?
Diverse storytelling Russ. Nice!
I always wear a cycling cap. I wear it under my helmet.
I wear a cycling cap under my helmet! It protects from the beating down sun, keesp rain off your glasses and in winter helps you see against the sun low on the horizon.
I have ALWAY wore a casquette and continue to wear a casquette – consider ME the fashion force behind a revival of traditional French road cycling gear – I guess your "no one wears these" is a FLASE CLAIM – wanker
CAP-Ital-ism
It’s a Basball Cap.
Ah man, I just got tricked into watching a commercial.
I'm not a hat guy, but I still wear the cycling cap when it's cold outside or I have the sun in my eyes.
I think you should consider doing more content about origins of cycling culture, especially with where you now live. Maybe some stuff on the famous climbs.
If the mechanic in your LBS wears a traditional cycling cap, prepare to be ridiculed.
The only issue with caps with a larger bill is that in a full tuck on a descent, you're vision is 100% obscured. You need a cap that has a bill that can flip up, like the traditional cotton casquette.
Love the "wtf" reference to the trucker cap 😆It'll die one of these decades, like the homeless person beard.
Tadej Pogacar still wears one on the podium, god bless him.
The beret is never a questionable fashion choice if you can pull it off. 😅
My Campagnolo cap was my helmet back in the late 70's. Man, I thought I was so cool wearing that thing, being the only kid in my area who had an Italian road bike and a fake Italian accent 😅😅😅
Seems like the bungee toggle would be under the helmet strap and thus dig into your head??
As someone with a shaved head, I've found a cap to be essential for sweat management, warmth, sun protection (stripes on head otherwise) and protection from bees that get trapped in my helmet. The little brim gives some sun protection (not a sunglass guy), as well.
