\"Vulpine<\/a>My most recent cycling attire purchase was the Vulpine Storm Cap, available from Vulpine<\/a> for \u00a335.<\/p>\n

I’m not a big lover of helmets (I know, I know – how very cavalier of me, but still), so I like to wear a cap instead. Until getting the Storm Cap I was wearing a Liverpool Baseball cap. However, it was very hot and felt like a big lump on my head and always unnerved me wearing it whenever I would cycle through Manchester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So when I had the chance to get a new cap, I had a look around to see what was available. I went through Chain Reaction<\/a>, but nothing grabbed me. Rapha’s selection of cycling hat’s and cap’s<\/a> seemed quite good, they were also having a sale so that was  appealing but, as well as a stylish hat, I wanted some functionality in there. Something that was going to keep the rain at bay (a soggy hat is just no fun – especially when its a soggy LFC cap let me tell you).<\/p>\n

So I opted for the slighty more expensive Vulpine Storm Cap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now as smart stylish cycling headwear goes – this is right up there. The only negative comment I have is the \u00a335 price tag, which is about \u00a310 – \u00a315 more than I was originally going to spend. Still, having a piece of cycle clothing that is going to have a key use as the wetter months approach and look quite stylish and unique at the same time is a win in my book.<\/p>\n

A small mix up denied me of my black choice, but I was still more than happy with the slate option. At this point it would be remiss of me not to mention how much Phil at Vulpine bent over backwards to keep me up to date with stock levels of the cap and his friendly customer service is probably the best I’ve ever had. He explained the mix up about the wrong cap being sent and was more than willing to get it sorted if I so wished. I can’t say enough good words about Vulpine’s service. That alone has guaranteed them as my first call for cycling attire in the future.<\/p>\n
