Description

During the 2019 season, EF Education First Pro Cycling’s riders wore Rapha bucket hats at team presentations and sign-on at races around the world, bringing a touch of ‘90s fashion back to the sport. For 2020, we’ve made the Sahara Hat, a hot weather style classic.

Consisting of an adjustable five-panel cap with long neck cover, the EF Pro Cycling Sahara Hat is designed to be worn while cheering on the team at hot races such as the Tour Down Under or during long walks with your bike in the desert. The hat features embroidered logos and a snazzy print on the inside of the neck inspired by the team’s 2020 kit design. Protect your mullet and cheer on the men in pink and blue this season – and remember: no hat, no play.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Hmm...Not My Favorite Piece While I do like the entire aesthetic of the hat - shape, color, print graphics, etc. - the Sahara part of it, the flap, is heavy and hot. It feels like the opposite of what I want to wear in the hot sun for protection from the rays, as it is so cloyingly thick and warm; the print inside does not help the overall feel, despite how cool it looks. Maybe I'm missing something here, but this is the first Rapha piece I've gotten where the desire/purpose of the thing seems way off from the actual use of it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not as practical as you'd expect. Disappointed. While this cap looks like it would be the perfect summer and warm weather riding companion it unfortunately falls short of the mark. The cap is described in official FAQs as being designed to wear under the helmet. While possible like any hat or cap, it is far from practical for cycling. The rear flap sports the EF design in vibrant neon pink however the printing techniques employ a thick non breathable plastic feel that traps heat and feels generally unpleasant even on mild days. The rear flap wraps the ears and neck well but once worn with a helmet the straps prevent any airflow and increase perspiration significantly. Unfortunately I see this hat being seldom used. Which is a shame as the design and colours looks incredible. It is not a hat for cycling in warm weather at all. Rather a supporters hat.. bases on the product page. I was unfortunately expecting more.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Nice idea, but.... Hmmm rather hoped I would love this, but... it’s not really a Sahara hat, which has the implication that it will be perfect for warm weather. The material used is nylon based not cotton, and the neck shield has a distinctly nylon, plastic backing waterproof feel, with no breathable capabilities . It will be brilliant on a cold wet windy day worn to cover the collar on your jacket to stop the rain running down. But certainly not for a hot summer day! Yes it will keep the sun off but I fear at the price of a very warm sweaty head, There is no way of securing the flap in a rolled position either, and it’s to long (and plasticky) to fold inside the cap comfortably. Sorry Rapha, but I feel, this one misses the point!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Hat I bought this hat during the winter betting that it can do a decent job of keeping me warm & boy was I right! The flaps keep my head warm & protected from wind, if that's not warm enough I can wear a headsover or neck gator under it.

Can I wear this under my helmet in the heat?

Asked by: WendyC
Yes, this is designed for hot weather riding.

How would one wear this but without having the rear part 'down'? Is there a way of scrolling it up & keeping it secured until one chooses to deploy the rear part?
