    Best on cool rides and runs where a heavy hat would be too much. We sell it for wear under a bike helmet or a hard hat, and either way you should check with your helmet's maker first. For deep winter cold, one of our fleece-lined caps with ear covers will do more. The reflective details shine back when headlights reach them and do not stand in for lights.

    About this style

    Thin fleece on top, waffle knit at the ears, a wicking strip at the edge

    Some days are too cold for a bare head and too warm for a thick hat, and on those days you end up stuffing a damp cap into a pocket halfway through the ride. This one is built in three zones. The crown is thin, soft fleece. A waffle knit wraps your ears and forehead, where you lose warmth first. Along the inner edge runs an added strip of one-way wicking fabric that moves sweat out toward the outer layer instead of letting it sit against your skin.

    Flat-lock seams keep ridges off your forehead and scalp, which you feel most when a helmet cradle is snug. Reflective details on the logo and on the back of the cap catch headlights on an early or late ride. When the morning warms up, fold it small and it goes into a jersey pocket or a saddlebag.

    The winter skull caps shelf holds 5 more styles beside the Lightweight Warm Skull Cap, and every one belongs to the MELASA range.

    • One-way wicking edge

      An added layer along the inner edge moves sweat outward, so the band across your forehead is not the wettest part of the cap after a climb.

    • Waffle knit where it counts

      Your ears and forehead get the waffle-knit insulation, while the crown stays thin fleece that breathes on hard efforts.

    • Flat-lock seams

      No raised seam presses into your scalp under the helmet, even on a long day in the saddle.

    • Folds into a jersey pocket

      It packs small enough for a jersey pocket or saddlebag once the day warms up.

    Before it goes under a helmet

    OSHA leaves the question of what may go inside a hard hat to the maker of the hard hat, and recommends liners designed for it. Read the label in your hard hat, or ask its maker, before the first shift with any cap underneath. For the cold, layers and a covered head and ears are what the cold stress guidance asks for.
