Cycling Caps

Cycling Caps

Cycling caps are a quintessential part of cycling. They are versatile pieces that are great additions to every road cyclist’s wardrobe since they ensure complete coverage in variable riding conditions.

Cycling caps have a short, 2–3 inch brim and a low profile top that fits securely under a helmet. The brim extends long enough to keep the sun and rain out of your eyes, without blocking your vision. This brim is usually smaller than regular baseball caps in order to give you a wider field of vision when you are on your bicycle. The cycling cap should be placed firmly on your head, but with a gap between its top and your scalp. It is beneficial to use this product since you'll be adding a layer of cushion to enhance comfort and it prevents the helmet from rubbing against your head.

Also known as a cyclist cap, this headwear has a peak that is made of thin material. The peak is more flexible and you have the option of wearing the peak up or down. The back of the cap is often made of elastic material to help you achieve the perfect fit and to prevent the cap from moving or chafing. The peak protects a rider’s eyes from the sun and rain, and when turned around, it can protect vulnerable necks against sunburn.

Cycling caps are great at providing a light layer of warmth that protects your head from the effects of helmets, without causing you to overheat, as they might in a thermal cap designed for winter. These products cool you down in the summer by absorbing moisture and provide a certain degree of warmth in winter.

There are two main types of cycling caps: classic caps and skull caps.

Classic caps

Its appearance is very similar to regular baseball caps. It is usually worn under a cycling helmet in order to give you protection from the sun. It also doubles as a helmet liner to absorb moisture.

Skull caps

This cap style is wrapped around your head for a snug fit. It is very useful for keeping your hair out of your face. Like a second skin, you can wear it under your helmet to prevent moisture and keep you dry.

What are the benefits of a cycling cap?

There are several practical reasons for you to don this headwear while you are out on a ride.

Cycling caps are worn under your helmet to enhance protection against rain, sunlight, and wind. Most people wear it in extreme weather conditions to protect their eyes or glasses from water drops. On bright and sunny days, a cycling cap absorbs sweat and it helps to keep sweat from dripping into your eyes. The peak can shade your face and protect your head from the sun. In the winter, it adds an extra layer of warmth, especially if you pick a cap with ear flaps to provide even more protection against the elements. When you're out riding your bicycle at night time, putting the peak down is useful because it blocks the blinding headlights coming from the other direction.
