For many cyclists, the thought of adding another layer under their helmet during a hot ride is unthinkable; but the right headwear can boost comfort on warm rides and protect your skin from the sun. The GripGrab UPF50+ Lightweight Summer Skull Cap protects your head from harmful UV rays thanks its high level of UV protection – blocking much of the sun from reaching your head and reducing the chance of sunburn.

The sun isn’t the only thing that can get in through the vents in your helmet, and this summer cycling skullcap also keeps any adventurous insects off your head. The moisture wicking highly breathable material will help move perspiration away from your brow to keep you cool and reduce the chance of sweat hindering your vision. The super lightweight fabric weighs just 25 grams, and the low-profile design and low bulk seams allow you to wear it comfortably underneath a cycling helmet.

Machine washable and fast drying, it is a lot easier to wash this summer skullcap than it is to wash your helmet pads after a sweaty ride; so it will help keep the inside of your helmet cleaner for longer.

Go against what you think you know, and add an extra layer for those warm summer rides – the GripGrab UPF50+ Lightweight Summer Skull Cap will make those sweltering hot days far more comfortable.
