Source for Ibex Bicicleta cap or suggestion on similar product
I'm looking for an Ibex Bicicleta cycling cap, or the older model Coppi.
It seems like Ibex might be out of business.
I can't seem to google up any old stock except for a few sketchy websites which claim to have 7000 of them available.
I'd be open to suggestions for similar products but an looking for wool and something with a minimal or no brim. It must cover the ears effectively.
The Giro Ambient is similar but synthetic.
The Giro Winter Cap is merino and comes in cool colors but I don't like even that small(ish) brim.
I might order an Assos fuguCap_S7 just to try it on. Anyone have experience with this product? Again, it is not wool.
Any other thoughts or a source for the Ibex product would be appreciated.

Wool power makes a nice helmet hat. It’s nice, not super warm.
Handmade Swedish wool clothing company. Nice stuff.

Non omnino gravis
The Snek Wool Winter Cap is pretty close. I picked one up earlier in the year. Comfy.

I had forgotten about Woolpower and wish I hadn't purchased the Giro. Dang.

Ooh, some good links here! With the long winters here (possible snow tonight?) there's always room for more hats.
I can confirm that Ibex is out of business. My favorite wool baselayers/shirts came from them.

If you want a small brim, you might take a look at Walz caps: https://www.walzcaps.com/collections/wool-cycling-caps Their caps are thicker than some polypro caps, though.
When Ibex was closing, my wife wanted to place another order every other email. I hope we get to wear it all before the moths get it.

The bill on the Walz caps is too large for me and they don't cover the ear lobes.
The little bill on the Giro Ambient is about as big as I'm able to tolerate and the IBEX and Woolpower are even better with almost no bill.
