Midweight Merino Winter Cap

Just what I was looking for . . . .

It fits my head great. (Fitted baseball cap size is 7⅜, if that helps). Is warm enough for 30 to 40⁰F bike rides at 15 mph for over ½ an hour. I mainly got this because of the merino fabric and to create less skin irritation on my forehead. Wearing a $30 dollar helmet versus a $150 helmet makes no difference since the inner liner velcroed in there is very similar and not helpful for sensitive skin on the forehead. So, this hat protects my skin from helmet shear forces. Definitely worth the money in the long run.

Warm ears

Love the hat. Nothing like warm ears while riding. Smooth fit under the helmet. Bought the small and fits perfectly.

Honestly the best cap of its type I have tried

Used this cap for the first time the other day. Temps started in low 40’s and climbed to mid 50’s. I was very comfortable the entire time. The cap is thin enough to be comfortable under the helmet and the brim flips up and down nicely as needed. The ear flaps pop up when the temps climb for continued comfort range. I have a couple of similar caps, but this one has the best combination of fit, function and comfort range. It’s hard to beet a well crafted merino wool garment.
