Bike caps are a quintessential part of a cyclist’s kit. They are an iconic item of clothing to our great sport. But does a cycling hat have an actual purpose? If you thought a summer cycling cap was just to look good, you’d be partially right. It looks great! But there’s more to this piece of clothing (both the summer and winter versions) than just ticking sartorial cycling boxes. Bike caps also:
There is no real art form to this. A cycling cap is like any other form of headgear, just put it on frontward facing and off you go! Wear them under your helmet but remove them when you’re not riding.
If you’re looking to buy a road bike cap, then you want a design that sits above your ears and well above your eyebrows. In contrast, a winter hat needs to come over your ears and cover as much of the head as possible so as to maintain warmth throughout.
A warm weather road bike cap has a fairly shallow covering for the head and a small lip visor protruding at the front. Typically, it comes in brand or team colours and is made of cotton, with some designs featuring mesh panels. During the cooler months, this is replaced by woollen or polyester skull caps, which cover a much larger head space to keep the skull ears and sometimes even neck as warm as possible.
Mountain bikers typically opt for classic American-style trucker or baseball cap designs in the warmer weather, and thermal ‘beanie’ style caps or skull caps (see link above in road cycling) when the Mercury drops.
