GiroSPF30 UltraLight Cap(Return to Product Page)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice fitting cool and stylish cap

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

Great fit not too tight, blocks sweat and fits well under my helmet. Better than the last 3 caps I have tried

A little spendy for a cap, but it is super lightweight and provides just what I wanted - a cap that didn't feel like it provided any insulation value but did provide a visor for those early morning or late evening rides with the sun low in the sky. Visor just big enough to keep the sun from shining between forehead and top of sunglasses.

I looked in vain for a cycling cap with a place for a woman's ponytail but I cut one in this cap and stitched around it to prevent raveling. It works and I'm happy with the results. This cap is thin and easy to wash.

I have looked for a hat like this for a long time. This is the first one that fits the bill! Just enough of a cap to do the job. I cut a hole for my ponytail and the cap stays in place perfectly. Love it!

One of my favorite caps. Traditional cotton caps were always uncomfortable to me when worn under helmet. This ones great-thin fabric and mesh takes up no room under helmet and breathes well, soft fabric feels good against forehead with no crinkled edges, smaller bill doesn't creep down or get in the way when in the drops. I wear this in spring/summer mornings when it looks like it may rain.

I use this on the hottest rides. It's not the toughest hat you'll own (mesh) but it is most certainly the lightest and most breathable.

Get one and get it on sale.

First time I wore a hat with visor as opposed to a skull cap. Visor obstructs vision and forces you to lift your head a little higher

I wanted a lightweight cap to wear under helmet to keep the sun off my head. This one is perfect!

I wanted a simple cycling hat to help minimize sweat from pouring into my eyes on hot days as well as to provide a little throwback cycling hat style when taking off my helmet at rest stops. This one does the trick. I have worn it on several century rides and found it holds up well and doesn't cause my head to overheat. It is very thin so I have chosen to wash it carefully by hand between rides verses running it through a machine. It drys quickly and has continued to look new.

Great fit, bill doesnt block my vision at all, and it stays cool. Just wish it had more colors.

Hands down the best summertime cap.

Ultra lightweight and nearly impossible to feel under the helmet.

Giro really made a great product here. Fits perfectly under my Aeon.

I totally recommend this cap for summertime use.

Cheap enough here to get a couple.

Works perfectly. Like the copy states great for hot summer rides but even in cold, keeps sum out of eyes and stops sunburn through my hair on top of head (through helmet holes).
