Description

Designed for hot and humid conditions, the Flyweight Cap is styled like a classic cycling cap yet constructed as a high-performance piece. Made of a lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric with laser cut holes on either side for breathability, this is the coolest cap we make. Taped seams on the three-panel construction have been engineered for a low profile and comfortable fit under a helmet, while an elasticated rear and slight stretch in the synthetic fabric ensure an excellent fit. Finally, a soft anti-bacterial tape runs around the inner rim to keep the cap fresher, for longer.

Details and Materials

  • Lightweight and breathable fabric for exceptional hot weather performance
  • Laser cut holes on either side for ventilation
  • Rapha logo printed on underside of brim
  • Taped seams for low profile comfort
  • Anti-bacterial tape around inner rim
  • Elasticated rear of inner rim for excellent fit
  • 100% polyester

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded My Expectations! I know, it's just a cap, but this isn't like most cycling caps I've owned. When I first took it out of the box, I was surprised by how light it was. It felt as light as the packaging paper! The technical fabric that the cap is made of is super light and thin, but doesn't feel cheap. With subtle vents and lightweight material, it breaths very well. Like the rest of Rapha's products, the cap is well designed, minimal, yet very functional. I know it's well designed when I don't even notice when I'm wearing it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better for hot rides I've got both the classic cotton blend Tricolour Cap from Rapha and this one — and this one is WAY better in the heat. After a few tortuous hill climbs, the other will betray you with a darkened brow... this little baby, no such worry... it's a neater more snug fit, and while I wear mine under a helmet (as you should too — safety first now!) it's a natty little number.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant for hot days I was looking for something to stop my head burning on hot long days and this does the job. I’d found previous Rapha caps too thick and too small but this is so thin and comfortable you hardly know it’s there. I usually wear it back to front wth the peak up at the back which gives me some shade on my neck as well. Great product, can we have more colours please?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice & light Great fit as i have a slightly larger head and sometimes the one size fits all can be a bit tight. Looks great and the material is very thin & light. Just what i need for my trip to Majorca!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bought for a friend as a gift- They love it! This hat helps make the Florida sun more bearable! I was very impressed with the quality, as the lightness of this cap. I bought it for a friend who uses their bike as everyday transportation, and they have worn it everyday since they got it. Very worth it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hurrah, a cycling cap in different sizes.... It does what it says on the tin, a flyweight cap. Ideal for those hot and sultry rides we can often get in the UK. It's wonderful, that thse amongst us who have a large noggin, are accomodated for in comfort. Not the random and luck of the universal fit cap very much dependent on the desgners brief or should I say minimal elastication used on the other brands caps. Deals with the sweat just like a good fitting baselayer does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More comfort over cotton I prefer the material used for the summer caps as they’re a more breathable technical fabric. They dry quick when wet and are a great fit compared to a standard cotton cap, even for my unusually shaped fat head. Probably not suited to those really cold days, opt for a Belgie if that’s what you’re looking for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like it says - lightweight cap! I always wear a cap under my helmet, to help with the sweat or to keep my increasingly bald swede a little warmer. I thought the light weight cap might be a good option for the warmer weather and it is great. Absorbs sweat and dries really quickly (during coffee break on radiator). Will buy again.

Is the Rapha logo also printed on the brim of the black cap? Can't see it on the pictures?

Size doesn't come in L?

Asked by: AmericanoRider
Hi, our Small caps will usually fit a Small/Medium due to the elasticated rear of inner rim. For those who have a wider head circumference we suggest to try the Medium and should you need to exchange, we have a 90 days return policy for garments returned new/unused and with tags garments.
