Wearing a cycling cap under a helmet helps keep sweat from trickling into your eyes, the sun from scorching your head and face, and even offers extra warmth in the colder months. The small peak of the cap is great for fending off the sun’s glare. Cycling caps are a thin, light layer that fits nicely under helmets.

In summary, wearing a cycling cap under your helmet provides essential sun protection during your rides. It shields your face and neck from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to any exposed areas of skin for comprehensive sun protection.

- Use summer cycling jerseys and bib shorts with a UPF30+. - Apply sunscreen all over the body if not wearing garments with a UPF rating. - Use a thin cycling cap under the helmet during the summer.
