The best cycling caps sit neatly under the helmet meaning they can shield you against the sun without adversely affecting your safety. The little peak is its calling card and crowning glory; correctly proportioned it fends off glare without restricting the view of the road ahead.

Cycling caps should fit snugly under your helmet without adding pressure points. A well-fitted cycling cap should provide added protection from wind, rain, sun, and glare. Cycling caps come in thermal, moisture-wicking, and old-fashioned, non-technical cotton varieties.
