Anybody wearing cycling cap in this ridiculous heat? Suggestions on one that is breathable. I only have one that’s useful for less hot weather. I get sweat on my eyes so I either need a headband or a cycling cap to help absorb that sweat. Last weekend my helmets padding was dripping sweat when I…

A lighter option that I use on occasion are these skull caps. Just a couple examples as about every clothing brand offers something like them. Wicking material and not as bulky as a regular cycling hat. [image] Men's & Women's Cycle Gear | Shorts, Jerseys & More | PEARL iZUMi Visit PE…

I use this one in white. I’ve got a shaved dome so it’s for sweat, but also so I don’t get crazy strange sun tan / burn lines on my head from my helmet. [image] Amazon.com: MISSION Cooling Helmet Liner Skull Cap - Cools When Wet Liner for... Buy MISSION Cooling Helmet Liner Skull Cap …

I use Halo’s for sweat management. I like them because the strip of rubber directs the sweat away from your eyes rather than relying on absorption. I find on hot days, any material is quickly saturated. Great is you don’t need a full skullcap. [image] Halo Headband Sports Headwear: Head S…

I haven’t had sweat drip on the inside of my glasses once since I started using the halo, highly recommend. It was very tight at first (large head) so I stretched it over the helmet once and now it fits great.

Yep, always: sunny days peak up; rainy days peak down have shaved head, so insects flying into helmet vents would not bother, plus no weird tan lines beside ones from helmet straps don’t care about sweat protection so much, seems only my hands are sweating

Always with my bald spot. Big fan of the Giro SPF30 ultralight cap; well ventilated, protects my pate, absorbs sweat, nice touch that the inside of the short brim is black for better vision. Also comes in a skullcap model. [giro-spf30-ultralight-cap-pure-white1]

[image] Hampstenfan: Big fan of the Giro SPF30 Love this for all the reasons you say, except for me at least the bill won’t stay up. Maybe it has to do with my POC helmet/fit, but it is so annoying. And the bill is great for dripping sweat ahead of my glasses. But for my shaved head with a b…

I’ve never had the sweat in the eyes outside problem but I do know a few folk that wear a cap for that reason. Where I have had a problem is indoors and wear a Castelli Sweat Band perhaps it would be of use to you outdoors. Castelli Summer Headband - SS23 | Merlin Cycles Edit I see there is a skul…

I also use Halo’s, but I had to go for the “bandit” model, which has more material to absorb more sweat. I live where it’s extremely humid though, so I still need to wring it out every 90 mins or so, but it really does help keep sweat off the glasses/eyes. A normal Halo didn’t work.

Agree on the bill. Doesn’t stay up with my Bell Z20 either. I’ve thought about wearing it backwards if I wanted to not have the bill in field of view, but you know, habits…

I’m bald on top, so always have to do something to block the sun. I have a Giro skullcap and a Pactimo version. I like the Giro better, as it doesn’t cover my ears. But, the Giro material is a bit heavier than I’d like. My next try will be the Pearl Izumi version. I have their sun sleeves which ke…
