i've acquired quite a few caps along the way so far, my favorite being a custom one made by a friend, the rest are local shop hats. but i did break down and buy a mapei cap a few weeks ago, i like the colors!
also, when riding in the rain behind somebody with no fenders, you can just tilt your head down a little and protect your eyes. it works.

On Wednesdays, I ride with a group about ten miles, with 1000 feet of elevation, to the tony community of Montrose, in the San Gabriel Mts., above Los Angeles. We spend some time at a coffee house on tony Honolulu Avenue.
When I'm sitting in the sun, which is shines from January through January most Wednesdays in L.A., I pull out my cap, which I picked up at Bike Works NYC, while visiting my daughter in Manhattan last winter. The cap features a painting of a bike, by artist Taliah Lempert, and while it's no babe magnet for me, it does elicit some complementary comments from random passersby whenever I wear it. While I'm downing my iced coffee and a jalapeno-cheese bagel this Wednesday, I'm going to think about my daughter and think about Manhattan, where it will be raining, while my cap keeps the sun out of my eyes.

I have the CSC one from Competitive Cyclist. I wear it because I think it looks pretty cool, I'm not gonna lie. I guess the little brim keeps the sun out of your eyes, but thats about it.

i love them, i burn through one about every 3-4 months before they get too funky or too ripped to wear. thinking about picking up a spare and sewing some bottle cages to the sides a la:
