GiroSPF30 UltraLight Cap(Return to Product Page)

I have been wearing this cap for hot weather road rides and LOVE it- I have worn various color cycling caps under my helmet for years for eye shading and keeping any rain off my glasses. It also absorbs sweat and keeps the helmet padding from getting dirty or stinky. I was initially concerned after ordering the all-white version that the underside of the brim would be white and less helpful for shading sunlight, but it turns out Giro smartly made it black with a small light Giro 'G' logo, and it successfully absorbs some of the ambient daylight light. I like this cap very much for summer use.

I've tried all sorts of cycling hats, caps and sweat garments, and this one beats them all hands down. It's just the right thickness, and breathes really well. The bill also keeps the summer sun out of my eyes and allows a more relaxed ride. I'm really glad I discovered this product and took a chance on ordering it. Thank you, BikeTiresDirect.com for featuring this as well (as I've not seen it in other vendor's catalogs).

I think my traditional cotton caps look a bit better, but nothing tops my Giro cap for comfort. The tech fabric is lighter and stretchier than traditional cycling caps so it feel better under a helmet even on long hot rides.

I don't usually wear caps but I needed something for road biking at certain times of the day when the sun was in my eyes. This cap gave me the perfect size brim that shaded out the sun without blocking my view of the road if that makes sense. I've had other caps where the brim is too big and long and is always obstructing view. This one also happened to fit me perfectly and kept the sweat from dripping into my glasses. Very pleased with it.

This cap is really nice, comfortable and light perfect for the hot weather. It fits me a little tight I'm hoping with the normal use the fabric will stretch out. I recommend it for warm weather.

Good item for those hot, sunny days of Summer. Light, breathable, yet adds protections from those pesky UV rays.

The man at the BTD warehouse showed me this when I was buying a new helmet and he saw me using a peleton cap for fitting. I have about 60 miles on it now and can say it wicks moisture very well without getting sopped and acts as an effective sun visor. It does not feel warm in the sun. I took it off for half my last ride and can say sweat management is definitely better with it. I will likely use it under all warm conditions. It also fits well in my new Giro Synthe MIPS helmet.

If you don't like the idea of skin cancer, you might want to check this out. This is the third time I've bought this cap. VERY LIGHT WEIGHT, WICKS SWEAT AWAY, WHITE REFLECT HEAT, SPF 30 PROTECTION FROM HARMFUL SUN RAYS. Wash it every 5 or 6 rides and you're good to go for a year or two.

Wicks moisture well. SPF protection is good.

no sunblock on my bald head with this hat. I sweat a lot and not having sunblock and sweat drip into my eyes is great. Plus, I can wear this hat without my helmet.

The fit on my average to slightly-bigger-than-average, and slightly oddly-shaped head (which doesn't always fit all things hats), is really nice. The bill stays up when I flip it up and is comfortable down. It hand washes pretty easily, as well. I love the SPF protection, the simple, presentation (no decals or anything), and its flexibility to be worn in any sort of weather. I like the shorter bill profile, as well. I've tried other name brand hats that are too tight, too colorful, too big in the bill, etc. This hat has been perfect for me.

Good item for protecting top of the head while also providing sun shade in front. Lightweight, comfortable. Good value on sale!

Have worn this hat with the visor front and back. What I have found that once the hat gets soaked the visor hesitates to stay up when wearing a helmet. Even when pulling the cap down just above the eyes, and with a little cross wind, it won't stay put. However, when worn with the visor is the back, it protects the neck from the sun and seem to wick the sweat towards the rear pretty well.

Nice caps, well made, large enough for my head, which at 7 3/8 is too big for many caps on the market. These wick sweat well.

Seems good. Haven't used it yet because we are in sweltering heat now

Nice fitting cool and stylish cap

Always wear a skull cap when riding to help prevent sunburn and to absorb sweat. This cap does great for both. Will buy more.

The bill in the cap had an unusual shape.

This cap is great for hot weather riding. It's super thin, so breathes well. I sweat a lot and it keeps the sweat out of my eyes.

exactly what I was looking for light weight, wicking, washable cap in sensible color.
