CastelliSummer Skullcap(Return to Product Page)

This fits well and keeps my balding head from burning. It seems lighter and thinner than the Giro version, but durability is unknown at this point.

Great summer cap, way better than the bandanas I would always wear. Appreciate this cap for longer summer rides.

I use this cap on the nice days in the spring and fall. It is perfect in weight and feel and works great until it gets too hot and the sweat really flows. It is too thin and cannot hold much sweat. When it comes to summer I switch to something more substantial -- kind of a drag given these are very light. Still looking for the perfect blend of sweat absorption from the brow and thing and airy while still offering sun protection for the summer.

Too small for my not-huge head. Despite stretching it over my head, it does not cover more than the tips of my ears. Sun protection is one of the main reasons I wear a skullcap. Returned and ordered a DeSoto, will see how that works.

I use them every ride starting when temps hit 50 degrees, I live in Wisconsin and early season rides start out in the 30's, keeps my hair from ripping out, comfortable one size fits all, no sweat running into my sunglasses, protects bald spot on my head from direct sun. The only thing I don't like is I don't have a couple more of them.

I'm bald so always wear a head covering to prevent sunburn and for comfort. Headsweats skull caps have alway been great but I bought this on sale to try. I have been very disappointed as it's too tight (one size fits all), too small (doesn't cover enough of my head), and doesn't have a good surface for absorbing sweat on the forehead or keeping my helmet in place. I rarely use it.

Faithfully wear this little gem on all my summer rides. Keeps the head cool, good protection from sun beating through the helmet slips on my buzzed head, and also protected me from a few in-flight creatures that made it through my helmet vents. Great purchase!

Have had problems with other one-size fits most skullcaps being way too large for me but this fits in well under a Giro size small helmet. High quality construction. Breathes well in 90 degree heat. Washes well and does not stain.

As a somewhat older rider with less natural padding on the top than many, I always use a skullcap for comfort, sun protection, and to reduce the sweat pouring into my eyes. This skullcap has perfect coverage for me, and even on the hottest days it does a great job of reducing the amount of sweat pouring down from on high.

Cap keeps the sun off my head, even under my helmet. Super light and unobtrusive, and it looks great when I wear it alone, without the helmet.

i love everthing about the product i wear it too look good a great skullcap

Works well here in Florida. When bright sun gets overwhelming I spray water over helmet from water bottle to get long lasting evaporative effects from the skull cap.

Fits perfect, wicks sweat away ,keeps bugs out of your hair, airflow helps cool your head.

My favorite band is Rush. One of their old songs I identify with more and more is I Think I'm Going Bald. If I don't ride with a cap, I get crazy vent tan lines or burns on my skull. This cap does the trick. It's light and comfortable and keeps the sweat out of my eyes. I've had one for a couple of years with no noticeable wear. Highly recommended

I have some other skull caps but I wanted one that was white to keep as cool as possible in the summer. I have a giro one that is ok - a little tight and material is thicker so it is a little hot. This bad boy vents well, keeps most of the sweat from pouring down your eyes and is easy to keep clean. Grab it on sale and you won't regret it.

Keeps head from sun burn through helmet or without a helmet.what I was surprised by the skull cap is that it keeps sweat from pouring down my face on the hottest days and my shades don't get messed up!!!! Got two and would recommend. Oh, try wetting it before you take off on a hot day!!!!

I wear this scullcap under my helmet. It is thin, it doesn't bulk up and make the helmet fit tight. Although it is designed for warm weather, I find it helps cut a bit of chill on cool days too. It does not go over the ears. For me, it's a good piece to wear from high 50's through low 70's. Since it does retain a small amount of heat, I tend not to wear the cap when it's really hot, although, it is a trade off from a sun burned scalp (as I'm bald).

For anyone, this skullcap keep sweat and suntan lotion from dripping into your eyes. For bald guys, it has the additional benefit of keeping your head from getting those funny shape sunburn lines.

The cap allows more air to blow through, and less sweat to accumulate while protecting my scalp from sun than my Headsweats caps. But the price is a bit steep.

Looking for a product to upgrade from headband, which were not doing a good enough job absorbing and wicking sweat during summer rides. Tried a few summer weight skullcaps and found that the Castelli skullcap works the best. Does a great job absorbing and wicking sweat and keeping cool, no longer does sweat build up and run into my eyes as with a headband. Fits well under helmet, like that it covers my bald head from the sun. Tried Giro and PI skullcaps as well, liked Castelli the best.
