The Thermal Cycling Cap is the winter essential that keeps rides rolling when the temperature drops. Designed with insulating yet breathable thermal fabric, it traps warmth without overheating, while the extended ear coverage protects against biting wind.
A cycling-specific bill forms a seal over glasses to shield eyes from wind, rain, and low sun, and the streamlined profile fits easily under a helmet. Thoughtful details include a rear port for ponytails and construction with recycled content for a sustainable edge.
Pair it with cold-weather gear from our Cycling Jackets & Vests collection to complete your winter kit.

Amazingly warm!
"The cap is lightweight, but keeps my husband’s ears toasty. A great value!"
This cap keeps my ears
"This cap keeps my ears warm on the coldest days. Its fairly thin and lightweight which is a great fit under the helmet. Love the material."
Surprisingly warm
"Have ridden down to 37F so far and been warm."
Keeps head warm, but obstructs vision
"This cap has kept my head warm on chilly commutes (<30 degrees F, 35-40 minutes), but the bill tends to obstruct my vision. I now ride with the bill pointed up, which works alright. I wish I would have just purchased the cap without the bill, which is slightly less expensive anyway. I didn’t begin wearing the cap until the 30-day return window had elapsed, so there was no going back. I’ll have to make do!"
I’m not Impressed
"I was hoping this would actually be thermal for my winter rides but it seems even less thermal than my other skull cap from pearl izumi. It also seems bigger and I found the visor was falling in my eyes which is super dangerous. I would not recommend if you have an a average/small head and are looking for something to keep you warm."
Looks great! Can’t wait to

Thermal cap

Not Five Stars
"Fit nice and snug. A little warmer than would expect from the fabric. Would like it warmer, like wool."
Very nice
"Very flexible fit, stretchy, covers the ears nicely, and the ponytail cutout is such a nice addition it really should be an industry standard!"
