^^ I own the ambient.

Yes, very small brim, not anywhere near as big as a regular cycling cap brim. The brim is maybe 1", if that, and one of the reasons why I purchased. The fit is snug, not loose at all and it covers my ears which many caps do not. I have not used it in the cold yet but compared to the dozen or so other hats and caps I own, I have a feeling that this is will be one of the better ones.

The OP is asking about thin caps. This is not very thin. It is for cold weather, not cool.

I also own the Castelli Extremo Windstop Skully. It is similar but without a brim and less ear coverage for those with big ears. On sale for $20 at Excel.

A nice thin cap is the Giro Merino Winter Cap. Very light and soft. It is a classic looking Mutt, AKA Belgian Cap, great for cool weather but has a larger brim.

[MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION], that excelsports link to the Castelli doesn't work. Can you check, please?

EDIT: Ah, here it is.

[MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION], that Giro cap was on sale in red-and-black in my size, so I bought it. Thanks for the tip.

The red/black is very stylish.

Wear a green shirt and flip the ear covers up. You will look like one of Santa's elves. You'll see what I mean when you get it.

a month later still no sign of either of them. convinced the only way to find them is to buy another, I did it .. this time in black. should be even easier to lose ...:notamused:
