The Stormy Kromer brimless hat is the best hat out there for bicycling in windy environments. I've had any number of baseball caps fly off, particularly while riding downtown among tall buildings with downdrafts. Since this cap has no brim it doesn't catch the wind. It looks good as well. Even my international jet-setter daughter said I looked incongruously hip. My wife didn't want to be seen with me wearing my defiantly counter-fashionable classic Stormy Kromer (to "Elmer Fuddy-Duddy"!). One day while walking the dog I put it on backwards and when I came back in she noted the "nice cap" right away. That lead me to by the brimless version. Bonus is that when drawn down it looks like a nice toque or ski cap. My only suggestion is that the logo be put on the side or back by the laces for those of us who'd rather not be commercially branded. I like this cap so much I ordered a second one in a panic when I misplaced the first. Now I have two! I wish there were a ventilated cap for summer!
