If you’re one of those die-hard roadies who doesn’t fret the cold weather, then having a warm cycling cap is a prerequisite for winter riding.
Here’s a round-up of a few good caps we recommend.
The Garneau Power Cap 2
This heavyweight cycling cap is made with polyester microfiber that is brushed on both sides to retain body heat and is treated to enhance moisture wicking. The use of microfiber and the flatlock seams offer an enhanced comfort. If it’s warm enough for those Canucks, it sure to keep the rest us warm too.

Castelli Difesa Cap
“Difesa” is the Italian word for defense, which is exactly what this cap offers. It’s made of the same fabric that we use on the Gabba to give you full wind protection, good rain protection and excellent breathability. This cap is so warm we had to make the back panel in Nano Flex to let off some of that extra heat. Flip-down earflaps allow the cap to cover a wide range of conditions.

Nalini Warm Winter Cycling Hat
Nalini Warm Winter Cycling Hat is designed to fit like a second skin over your head to give you the protection you need to lock in your core body temperature. This will be your go-to hat when chilly winds are blowing. The outer layer blocks the chilly wind penetration. The soft fleecy breathable inner layer traps in heat while pushing moisture away for quick evaporation. The cap covers your ears for added protection against chilly winds.
