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.

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.
