Anyone ever rock Walz cycling caps?

I was checking out their site and they seem to have decent reviews online, anyone here ever try them?

I got one about 3 years ago. I have a large head and even though they were one size fits all at that point, it is /was a bit tight. Nice product and service though.

I should probably order another when I have some $$$.

I am thinking of ordering them online, I don't believe they sell through stores. They look like they'd be good caps. We'll see.

Just bumping this old thread rather than starting a new one. Anyone know now (as opposed to in 2009) of stores in town stocking Walz caps? Was interesting in buying one but wanted to see them in person and buy from a LBS if possible.

I have two. One wool with earflaps for Winter and one moisture wicking for Summer.  My favorite caps. I ordered both directly from Walz.

I've got the one of the winter ones, but find the bill to be a bit too long for my vision. By that I mean it touches my glasses and blocks a bit of my field of vision. Great fit, though.

I have to say that I agree with the above review.  I ordered a couple of these caps and while the materials and craftsmanship were very good, I felt that the bills on the caps were too long. When I wore them under my helmet, I had to tilt my head back too much in order to be able to see. When I wore them without a helmet I would have to slide them back on my head so the bill wouldn't cover half my face.

In my opinion, most cycling caps have oversized bills.  My favorite cap is the Pace "Euro Soft Bill."  It's got a minimal, non-reinforced bill that is just enough to keep the rain out, and tug it a bit to keep that horizon sun out o' the ol' peepers.  I wear it every day.

Yes, exactly! That is a sweet cap. The ones I have that I like are pro team caps from Jelly Belly and Leopard Trek, they have those short bills that are the perfect length, and you can flip the bill up without looking like the Pope.
