Top 10 – Summer Cycling Caps

Cycling is constantly evolving; wireless groupsets, 1x drivetrains, pedal-based power meters and disc brakes are all things you wouldn’t have expected to see on a road bike 10 years ago. The sport’s evolution extends far beyond just componentry. A traditionalist may look at aero socks and see-through summer jerseys and quiver. But in an age where watts and speed is the name of the game, performance benefits are everything.

There is, however, one item of clothing that has seen little in the way of reinvention; the humble cycling cap, otherwise known as ‘casquette’. All of the greats can be found wearing them at one point or another, from Coppi and Anquetil to Merckx and Hinault. Cycling caps are both as stylish and functional today as they were 70 years ago.

Top 10 Cycling Caps

   Santini Bergamo Collection Colle Gallo Cap - Blue

   Designed with a central stripe and signature Colle Gallo graphics on the sides, this cycling cap is part of the Santini Bergamo collection. A collection that celebrates three famous climbs in the town where Santini are based. While there are three caps in the range, this design is definitely our favourite and looks classy with a helmet while riding or without at the cafe.
