Does the neoprene surf hats have the fitting strips C36 is talking about?

If so, I'll take a Red Surf Hat with Neoprene Headband, size Large. Or Blue

I tried Udders' and Dave's today and they fit well over my beanie. It would be nice to have a little something to pack out the helmet in summer, though, but it is probably okay without...

I use the shred ready sesh from MEC and I've never had issues with it water bucketing. It's fairly low profile with the size of my melon, comfy too. Lots of crashes to test it too.

Here it goes: Gath Gedi, Yellow. I just measured my head (620mm/ 24-3/8"). Not sure if that would be XXL or XXXL- will defer to your experience on this.
Would like it with Gedi peak and if I am going to spoil myself, a smoked full-face visor as well.

Let me know when there is enough interest and you require funds.

Size Update

Hi Marcus,

I need the XL not the L surf hat. Black is great, or Carbon Fibre if they make it.

Thanks!. 8)

I love my Gath. My wife not so much - fit is important and it did not fit her head shape. The only reason she bought an alternative is that her Gath would not "work" for her.

I now have it for sale - matt black surf - for someone with a smaller head.
