Being blessed with a big head (62cm) I find buying hats hard and am usually the largest size, even assuming that they go up big enough. I'm always outside the range of OSFA/OSFM.

So, I'm after a peaked cap for running in, preferably waterproof or resistant as it is for rain use, but am really struggling so would settle for quick drying. Can anybody suggest some options please?

Alpinestars do their caps in s/m and l/xl and have several waterproof options.

Ta, sizing suggests that I'm still over their upper limit though 🙁

I’ve got a Decathlon running cap and they are really adjustable. I think they do a waterproof one too.

I am also blessed with a melon size bonce so I feel your pain, or at least discomfort. Wearing a hard hat at work is a particular trial. I have a couple of Arcteryx caps in mammoth dimensions. Can't spot them immediately on the website but might be worth bearing in mind.

I bought a wide brimmed hat from Decathlon just yesterday, for an ultra. I've got a big head and the size 60-62cm fits perfectly.

The Alpinestars caps with the flexfit back are generally ok for my oversized dome.. (also 62cm). Most have been fine with the occasional one that has needed a bit of pre-stretching treatment on a size 5 football. I'm a baldy bastard mind.. so if you've got lego head hair they may be a bit snug.

I've got a massive head coupled with big bouffant outta control hair. I wear a Fjallraven baseball cap for hiking duties. It has a metal clasp/adjuster and has loads of adjustment. Made from G1000 so can be rubbed in wax for waterproofing or washed out for summer duties
