Exactly what I needed

Sadly, in the last few years, I have lost a lot of hair. With this new reality, I wanted something to protect my head from the sun underneath my helmet but also did not want add a lot of unwanted heat. This cap is exactly what I was looking for; fits under the helmet without even noticing it’s there. It’s super breathable and helps keep sweat from dripping down your face. I’m super happy with my purchase

I wear men's Medium to Large size helmets (58 cm), the ca[ is too tight quickly resulting in a headache. Would recommend only for men with smaller heads.

Good Quality Skull Cap!

2 years ago

I work as a professional caddie, and during the summer I often wear white or light colored hats. Unless I wear some kind of skull-cap, those hats get very gross with sweat and sunscreen stains. The best lightweight skullcap I've found is the Pearl iZumi Transfer Lite model. Only reason I'm not rating them higher is that they tend to stretch out a bit, and so fit more loosely than I prefer. But they are good quality, and have withstood frequent machine washings without any wear and tear. I just added two more, this time in black, to wear under dark hats. They are a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for!

Cool Protection

2 years ago

I’m not a fan of synthetics, but even I have to admit this cap not only protects from UV under my helmet, but so long as winds are reaching my head it feels much cooler than the ambient temperature. Today was 88 (felt like 101) by the time my ride was done, and while that’s just too hot for me, my head felt much cooler. Works so well I bought the sleeves, too. Too many years unprotected has sun damaged my head and arms and these items not only protect but keep me cooler as well.

So comfortable

5 years ago

I always wear something under my helmet to keep the sun off my balding scalp and the sweat out of my eyes. This skull cap is the best thing I have worn for that, very comfortable and very effective. I am ordering a couple more so I can take an extra on longer rides in the Texas summer and switch out a soaking wet one for a fresh one mid-ride.

It works!

7 years ago

Feels comfortable,so much so that I forget it’s on and that’s the main idea. It’s not overly tight even after an accidental spin in the dryer. The fit is still great.

Great Cap

3 years ago

This cap has been incredibly comfortable and keeps the sun off my shaved head significantly better than I had expected. I use it while running in the spring/summer when it's too hot to wear a hat as well as under my bicycle helmet while riding.

Amazing how it keeps head cool in the heat

I bought the white skull cap to protect my head from sunburn under my helmet. But I use it all the time because it cools my head in sun and heat.
