How to choose a cycling skull cap
When choosing a cycling skull cap, the most important factors are the weather conditions, riding intensity and how well it fits under your helmet. A skull cap should provide the warmth you need without interfering with the fit or adjustment of your cycling helmet.
- For summer. Lightweight, breathable skull caps help absorb sweat and provide extra comfort on warm days.
- For spring and autumn. Thin thermal models help protect your head and ears from cool air while managing moisture effectively.
- For winter. Warmer, windproof skull caps, such as the GripGrab Thermo Windproof Winter and Aviator Windproof Deep Winter, are designed for riding in cold and windy conditions.
- Size and fit. A skull cap should fit snugly around your head without slipping over your eyes or creating thick folds under your helmet. Follow the manufacturer's sizing recommendations.
What should you check when wearing a skull cap under a helmet?
A skull cap should not compromise the fit of your helmet. After putting it on, check that your helmet remains stable, does not create pressure points and that its straps and adjustment system work as intended.
Warmer models may be thicker, so we recommend trying on your skull cap together with your cycling helmet.
