Rated 5 out of 5 by from Toasty I bought this as a present for my eldest son after I'd bought myself one a couple of years ago. Having experimented with buffs, skull caps and all manner of other under-helmet headwear I bought one of these and I haven't looked back since. As soon as the temperature drops this comes out and stays in use until late spring. It washes brilliantly, which is essential as you will sweat quite a bit when working hard, but what it does simply and brilliantly is keep your head and ears warm. I wear it under a helmet and find that the join between the hat and ear flaps can push against the tops of my ears but not uncomfortably so. In summary a brilliant addition to your winter wardrobe which will encourage you to ride right through winter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great hat for winter commute When commuting throughout the winter in -20..+3C this hat has proven to be excellent. My commute isn't that long, but I would go on a longer (higher tempo) ride with this if it was warmer than maybe -7 C. The visor keeps the freezing wind blowing to my eyes around glasses. The one size fits nearly all: I have a big head of 61-62 cm and this is very tight. The earflaps are nice and snug covering my ears completely, but the band of the hat leaves a bright red line to my forehead when I'm using this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very pleased Recently tested on a 2hour ride on a cool (4c), breezy drizzly day. Within the first mile I must admit that I was wondering whether this had been a good purchase, as I could feel the wind cooling my head. However, as I got into my ride and started to generate some warmth I quickly found that this breathability is actually very cleverly designed to keep you warm without overheating. Arrived home nice and toasty but not overly sweaty. The visor also did a great job of keeping drizzle out of my eyes, without restricting visibility. As others have commented the fit is snug, but not uncomfortably so.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Hat that Works I've had a couple of chances to use this hat in zero freezing conditions and find it be warm and comfortable. In the tea shop the ear /neck muff can be turned up and the generous peak takes the glare out of the low winter sun. Under the helmet, the Winter Hat takes up the same space as wearing two Rapha Merino Hats. This hat could stretch to accommodate a variety of head sizes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The golden warm and breathable This is the softest feeling winter hat I own. I use it for commute and weekend rides and it excels with keeping the head and ears very cosy. There's no annoying scratching or bunching on the neck which is a massive plus. I would use it up to 10 degrees but will leave it alone if I know I am out for a short fast ride.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Keeps my head warm! Used now for over a month. Great product that seems to insulate the head well, yet remains breathable. Only draw back is that it leaves a compression line on my forehead, that takes a while to leave. I am top end of medium helmets at 58cm, wearing a large winter cap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keeps My Head Toast This is a really cool hat. Like all Rapha products it's nicely designed and detailed. It just fits under my helmet and provides the right amount of warmth for 30 to 40 degree days. A classic look for winter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Warm, Comfortable, Cool. 10/10 would recommend. Rapha continues to impress me with the amount of effort and time they put into each individual product. I will back for more, but in the meantime, you can expect me to be busy braking this bad boy in.

Which winter hat (Deep Winter, Pro Team, Insulated, Etc) fits a very large head??  That is, which is the largest winter hat?  Thank You

Asked by: DonT
Hi, the winter hat would be the best hat for a large head. It has a more spacious fit.

Hi, garment care suggests you can't machine wash and I wondered why, as hand washing each time would be inconvenient. Thanks

Asked by: markecoys
Hi, the care instructions are to ensure the long life of the hat due to the delicate nature of the material used.

The colour navy of the hat is it the same navy as brevet navy long bibs

Asked by: Robin
Hi, this hat is a similar colour and would pair well with the Brevet tights, but they are not matching.

Hello I've tried the pro team winter cap but it's a bit tight around the peak for me. Is this the same sizing? 

Asked by: Skatch
Hi, this hat has a slightly more relaxed fit.

Is this hat designed to fit under a helmet?

Asked by: babaji
Hi, this hat has a relatively low profile but whether it will fit under your helmet will depend on the size and general fit of your helmet.

How does this hat compare to the deep winter hat, which temperature range is it aimed at? I own the deep winter hat and above 5° Celcius it's way to warm.

Asked by: NicoDG
Hi, this hat is designed for use in temperatures from around zero up to eight degrees celsius. There is a degree of overlap when either hat would work well.

Does this hat cover the ears entirely, because in the photo it just seems to cover the top.

Asked by: NicoDG
Hi, there is degree of personal preference in how far you pull the hat over your ears. It will naturally cover most of the ear.
