Cycling Caps

How to choose a cycling cap

When choosing a cycling cap, the most important factors are the weather conditions and how comfortably it fits under your helmet. Different models are designed for hot summer days, cooler weather or rainy rides.

• For summer. Lightweight, breathable cycling caps help absorb sweat and provide extra comfort in warm weather. Some models offer UPF 50+ protection against ultraviolet rays.
• For rainy weather. Waterproof models, such as the GripGrab AquaShield Waterproof, help protect your head from rain.
• Fit. A cycling cap should not create pressure points or thick folds under your helmet. If it has a peak, make sure it does not obstruct your vision.
• Fabric. Consider the fabric thickness, breathability and moisture management. These properties affect comfort in different weather conditions.

Can you wear a cycling cap under a helmet?

Yes, many cycling caps are specifically designed to be worn under a cycling helmet. They should be thin enough to ensure your helmet still fits securely and is correctly adjusted.

We recommend trying on your cycling cap together with your helmet. It should not feel tight, slip over your eyes or interfere with the helmet's fit.
