Why Wear a Cycling Cap Under Your Helmet
Sun, sweat and style: what a cycling cap does under your helmet, and the GC and Prime LM3 caps from Corbah.
In this post
A cycling cap is one of the oldest pieces of cycling kit, and it still earns its place. Under a helmet it does a few small jobs well.
What a cap does
- Keeps sun out of your eyes: the short brim shades your eyes when the sun is low.
- Stops sweat: it soaks up sweat before it runs into your eyes.
- Looks the part: flip the brim up and wear it at the café, or off the bike.

Our caps
- Prime LM3 cap: a dark grey brim and center panel with white perforated side panels. Cool Air 140 GSM fabric on all three panels keeps it light and ventilated, and a discreet elastic band inside means one size fits most heads, about 18 to 26 inches around. It's light enough to stuff in a jersey pocket.
- GC cap: black and white with Corbah lettering, made to match the GC kit.

Pair it with
On sunny days, add GC Sun Blockers for your arms, and read how to stay cool on summer rides. On cold days, a neck gaiter keeps your neck warm.
