Pace Sportswear has been around longer than any other cycling cap manufacturer in the United States. So long that even Italian brands like Campagnolo used them back in the early 80's. The day I arrived in Los Angeles, Sean from Team Dream took me by Pace to see their operations. I know cycling caps aren't exactly saving the world, but when you think of domestic production, employee people and keeping an industry alive, it directly affects the US cycling industry. If and when I ever do caps, Pace will be my choice.
