Well just great. USPS has failed me once again and now the status of my package from Retrogression says "missent". I've not seen that before but a quick google search revealed that it will likely be a long time before I see my package delivered (if ever).
It's the fault of USPS not Retrogression. It shipped from Retro and was making its way to me and now suddenly today I see status of "Missent". Not sure what to do about it...
No cycling cap for this lickle man. Apparently it wasn't meant to be.

Alright, all is not lost, I called USPS and they were able to give additional info. It was missent to a different post office in Chicago, so it is only delayed a day or so. But that info was not available on the web. It just says "missent". So I thought it ended up in Utah or Nebraska or who knows where.
Good deal.

They can be adjusted to keep the sun out of your eyes, but if its to that point, it becomes harder to see the road/cars around you. Why not just get yourself some prescription sunglasses? Expensive, sure, but 100% worth it.

It's sadly not an option for me. I may have to get contacts, and sunglasses, and use them strictly for riding.

My vision is a little past -13.00 in each eye. They don't make most prescription sunglasses past +/- 4, then there are a few at +/-8, and I know of one pair that goes to +/-12.

you could just find yourself a nice flat billed hat?
i personaly liek enjoi hats as they have fairly good design work and lining sown into the inside of the cap with a different design as well.
I RIKE DEM ENJOI HATS
i used to have another enjoi have about 4 years ago that i really loved but i lost it while back in oregon while i was drunk with a bunch of friends on a bike taxi
i pulled the linings out some what so you could get a better look at them, i try and wash them regularly but i ride with them alot so im probably going to have to get doubles of my hats for wearing in general and cycling lol

I'd love to support a cycle oriented company for my head needs, but I cant find
one that will fit my massive head. Really, its like a Macy's Day float on a string.
I've wasted too much money on LG and ending up with a yarmulke.

Just bought a Nitto racing cap though and that sucker will block some sun/rain. Brim is more substantial and stiffer because it has a plastic insert.
I hand wash mine with cold water and no soap/product. Gently squeeze excess water out, pat dry with a towel, air dry overnight.
