If the cycling cap fits, wear it

Casquettes have been worn for almost as long as there has been competitive cycling, but since helmets became compulsory for races, the humble cycling cap risks becoming little more than a fashion accessory. This is a shame because they are as practical as they are stylish. The short peak can be turned up or down providing shade from sunlight and shielding eyes from rain.

Route is an ethical cycle wear label based in Scotland that is helping to keep the cycling cap alive. Their caps are handmade in Glasgow using Harris Tweed, bamboo silk and organic fair trade cotton.

We're fans of the company's free ‘repair or replace’ service to keep its clothing in use for as long as possible. Customers can return any Route product in need of repair. If they can’t fix the problem, they recycle the item into something else and send you a replacement.

Featuring a double cotton construction to give added protection from the wind, this is the £28 Route Clothing floral cap. The light-weight cotton is breathable helping to keep the worst of the cold out when you want it, and releasing excess heat when you need it. A cotton sweat band helps wick sweat away from your head and keeping you cool on hot days. We have one to give away - leave us a comment below and we'll pick a name out of the hat.
