Description The Ambient Skull Cap from Giro is ideal for wet and cold weather cycling with its ear flaps, micro-brim, and wind shielding front panel. Plush fleece lines the inside of this cap for ride-long comfort and warmth. Smart Seams help the cap lay flush against the skull, eliminating hot spots and pressure points that can result from certain helmet-cap combinations. Equipped with multi-faceted water repellent DWR, this cap fights water infiltration while simultaneously transporting interior moisture to the surface for rapid evaporation.

Does the job well
Having used the Giro merino winter cap for years,
I've given this a try, & it's working well.
Covers the ears, but you can uncover them on the fly for temperature control.
Not overly warm- I used a 2nd thin skull cap for a 40 ride, fits under helmet well.
Get the large size- tight fit cuts circulation.
The best part is the brim, which is enough to keep rain out of the eyes, but doesn't obstruct vision
when in a low position- a problem with many caps including the merino one.

I ride year round and wear some kind of hat under my helmets round. This is perfect for fall and spring rides. Fits perfect.

Good Cap
This cap is really good - I use it everyday on my winter commuting rides. I covers my ears and the small brim is good as well. It conforms well to my head and fits snug, but not too tight.
I had an initial concern that it would be either too bulky or not warm enough. Neither was the case. I am surprised at home warm it is for being so thin, but when the temperature drops below 15 F, I put a balaclava over it and I am still able to get my helmet on.

Dry and warm ears
This hat rocks. It was a replacement for a PI thermal hat that was out of stock. I love the the way the hat wicks away moisture and the brim keeps the rain off of my face. I rode 40 miles this past Sunday in a cold rain and my head stayed dry and warm. If only it could protect me from the spray off the wheel in front of me.
