Description

The cycling cap redefined

Keep the sun off your face, the rain from your eyes, or add a touch of warmth under your helmet with this highly technical cycling cap. Rapha has redefined the classic cycling cap here, eschewing the traditional heavy cotton construction for a synthetic fabric which offers stretch for a perfect fit, as well as wicking qualities to stop overheating. The iconic style of the cotton birettas isn’t lost, however. This lightweight, peaked version has a low profile, so fits very comfortably under a helmet, while a soft, stretch anti-bacterial tape around the inner rim helps it stay in position. The cap’s seams are engineered to provide the lowest-possible profile, while other performance details include a reflective logo and top-stripe, and laser-cut ventilation holes on the sides. The cap is designed to pair with any of the Rapha Pro Team collection, keeping you sharp on your fastest rides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The one! As a regular cyclist and cap user I'm not easy to please when it comes to headwear. Dented forehead, too hot or too cold, wet or not breathable, these are the things i regularly face when choosing the cap of the day...until now! This versatile cap offers it all, stretch fabric with slight wind and water repellency and a amazing fit. The design and finish is well though out and seams are very low profile, its my go-to cap from now on, no more dents in the forehead! Another brilliant design from Rapha!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fit, sharp details I have always worn cycling caps, but the close fit of my new Giro helmet meant I had to change my ways. Thankfully the new small size option and thin material means that this cap fits perfectly under my new lid. Technically it's really nice too - the fabric is light and flexible, and the reflective detailing is great. So good that I've been wearing it off the bike too and received a lot of comments from people more interest in street style than sports.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A cap is not just a cap You can't look at a cycling photo from the 60's, 70's and 80's without seeing the iconic euro cycling cap donning the glowing forehead of your hero. Things have changed and they all wear baseball caps on the podium now. Well, they needn't if they went for this amazing cap from Rapha. Not just good looking but made of a material that somehow knows when your hot and breathes with you and knows when you're cold and keeps that morning chill off. I've used it on ascents and descents of Ventoux and it helped my bonce cope with the twenty degree differential. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not for hot heads First Rapha item I've not given give stars to. The usual quality product and presentation. Looks great although surprised to need the large for my little peanut size head. Where it falls down for me is performance. Wore it on a fairly gentle training ride on a day that was not particularly hot and found sweat pouring down my face. Given that one of the main reasons I bought it was to keep sweat out of my eyes, this was a big disappointment. Granted I know there is a lightweight cap, but this was neither a hard ride nor a hot day. Riders who run hot should look elsewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great look and superb material Bought this as the lightweight cap was to tight ! This cap is the bees, great size and slightly stretchy fabric so the fit is not tight. I have to say I love the look of this pro team cap as with all pro team stuff. I bought this at full price and it's one of the best value for money items as I think I will still be war in it in ten yrs time. If your unsure about taking plunge don't hesitate buy it

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I do love this cap Wearing caps is, let's face it, mostly about religion. You've got a good luck cap, you've got one from a major race, you plucked it off the corpse of a famous rider. That sort of thing. If you're like me you've got to do it. You can come up with whatever rationalization you want -- keeps the rain off, shields your eyes from the sun etc -- but It's just plain bad luck not to. So if you're going to indulge your need to look cool/superstition/OCD spectrum behaviour you might as well do it efficiently and with as little fuss as possible. While looking good. And the Rapha Pro Team cap does exactly that. It's paper thin. It's water resistant. It's light as a feather. It diverts sweat and sunlight as well as any cap. It wards off evil spirits. What more could you ask for?

Rated 3 out of 5 by from An improvement but not quite perfect I always wear a cap under my helmet so the marketing of the lower profile of this cap appealed to me. The material is not breathable so high tempo riding means perspiration builds up and doesn't evaporate much as it does with eg. the lightweight cap. With the brim down, this means you get droplets of sweat dripping off the peak and onto your legs during lower intensity efforts than with the lightweight cap. There are some tiny holes on the sides which do actually make a difference but if feels like more of these could have been used to help stop the humid glasshouse effect under the hat. The peaked brim is also a very slightly different shape to the Rapha lightweight caps I needed to wear it slightly lower to get the same protection from road dust in my eyes. The fabric does seem opaque enough that it would be a good protection against the sun but I think it would be much too hot to wear in Australian summertime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Cap EVER! I was looking for a replacement for my Giro Peloton cap and I found it. Super lightweight, breathable, and fits under the helmet without any bunching up.

Hi, would you say this is about as thin as the Lightweight cap?

Asked by: Dogmatic13
Hi, the thickness is roughly the same but the materials do differ. Please refer to the product pages for full details of the compositions.

I see the reference to foul weather and I am wondering what climate range and conditions it is intended to cover....is it a rain cap??

Asked by: rickh
Hi, while the cap will offer a small amount of water resistance prolonged exposure to wet weather will lead to water ingress. The cap is suited to all conditions and while retaining a some heat does not offer the insulation properties of a winter hat.
