Dig it
Good for cold-weather days (which for me are below 40F / 5C). I have a small head and the ear-flaps are significantly looser than, say, a Buff. But the wind-blocking nylon front panel and the small visor are both helpful.

Nice hat - sort of.
Peak sits too low over eyes making it unusable under a helmet really. It's still pretty good if you wear it brim backwards - nice and warm... but I'd say go for the merino hat thingy (without a peak) they have though.

Peaked cycling gat
Excellent product purchased as a gift for my keen cyclist nephew. He tells me that it kept him toasty and warm when riding the other chilly morning. He is very pleased as it also covers the back of his neck.

Cool Weather Essential
This is the perfect hat for chilly rides. I normally use this for anything below 40 F and love the bill to block sun. The front panel cuts the wind where the merino back releases excess heat uniformly.

Peaked Merino Hat
I am a big fan of Rapha clothes generally. However I returned this hat as I didn’t like the material the skip was made of. The skip would be better made of softer material rather than rigid plastic.

Floop peak
Nice fit and warm but the peak tends to droop and doesnt like being pushed back. If flops down again. I wish Rapha made a winter peakless cap of similar weight like the classic Italian makers do

AMAZING PRODUCT
Where have you been all my life !? Excellent product and for sure the best piece on Rapha website that I bought. Keep my head and ears warm. Love the windproof front layer. Strongly recommend it.

Does the job.
Does the job well keeping warmth without building too much sweat. The peak is a little uncomfortable on my forehead but not bad. It seems it will soften up over time. The wool is great quality.

Warm and comfortable
Works really good on my daily commute during autumn/winter in the south of Sweden. Additional layers needs to be added when it goes below around -5 C. Somewhat small on my big head and ears. :)

Cozy hat that breathes!
Great versatile hat - keeps my head and ears warm and it's easy to wear without the earflaps when it warms up. Love that no matter how much I sweat, it still keeps the heat in! Love this hat!

Well built but narrow temperature band
Nice hat for the right temps. At 35f it's a bit warm, (I now understand why model is wearing it backwards on website photo). At 20f it's not warm enough. In between those temps it's great.

Just great
Love this product. I use it as soon as the temperature drops below 5 degree Celsius. I recon I would use this as low as - 10 degree Celsius with aero covers on my Sweet Protection Falconer.

A must for winter windy rides
This hat saved my ears & head a few times out this winter, while mates complained about the cold/wind, I didn’t notice, leaving me to focus on peddling. Fantastic protection from elements!

Fantastic Fit
caps often suffer from having too long a brim and seams that cause pressure points under a helmet, making them useless for actual riding. this one, though, is great! lightweight but warm.

Nice warm hat.
Comfy hat, breathable and adjustable peak visor. Merino wool is always a great thermal insulator. The front of the hat has material to block wind. Great for my winter fat biking rides.

Very comfortable and warm
Very pleasant cap, it nicely warms the head and protects the front and neck. It fits perfectly and provides a lot of comfort. Suitable for other activities as well. I recommend it.

Warm hat but....
Very nice warm hat. Unfortunately its not as good as a balaclava which covers your ears without moving. This hat also kind of restricts the vertical movement of your head upwards.

High Quality Kit
Bought this for those cold start mornings. Nice bit of kit. Ear wings tuck away if you want them out the way - very warm. Like the air stopper at the front. Folds away nicely.

Great winter and early season hat
Very comfortable merino hat with a brim to block out the sun. The part that covers your ears can flip up while still wearing your helmet if you start overheating. Great hat.

soft and warm
I wear medium size hats, and this hat fits me great. It does not overheats, it covers my ears well and the cloth does not roll up. Fits fine under helmet and keeps me warm.

Essential for winter
After riding out without a helmet and nearly giving up I bought this hat. It’s warm and lightweight and breathable. Just the job for cold Sunday morning rides.

Perfect
Bought this because my other winter hat didn’t fit under my new Kask lid... perfect cap, keeps me just the right amount warm. Tidy, comfy & of course stylish!

Missing the old style
This was a big disappointment from Rapha. Tight fit and very light brim that seems fragile. Bring back the mid-weight black with pink trim cap! I lost mine.

Does what it's supposed to do
Sits really well under a helmet, insulates without creating a heat spot. Obviously not for wet weather, but does a great job in sub freezing/chilly rides.

Comfy hat for cool rides
Amazing hat for those spring/fall rides. Easily can flip up ear flaps. Comfy to wear during post ride coffee Haven’t worn it yet for a winter ride yet.

Good hat but prefer the deep winter hat
I picked this up as a different option vs the deep winter hat i also have. I think the deep winter hat is better overall and should be your 1st purchase.

Excellent Hat
Excellent comfort. Some seams in the front of the cap already have started to show some wear where it has contact with helmet. We’ll see how it holds up.

I've been waiting for something like this for a while. It's the perfect winter riding cap, warm but super thin. Love it. Please make more colours rapha.

Solid cap
Wore on a ride in zero degrees (c) and I kept pretty warm without overheating. It tends to stretch out a bit when wet, but solid performance thus far.

Excellent
Excellent, low volume hat for ease of use under helmet. Nice and warm and windproof front. Ear areas don’t ride up and glasses fit well over the top.
