AHEAD OF THE PACK

The humble cycling cap has not been treated with a lot of love over the years, with a single company in Europe having produced the vast majority of traditional cycling caps you can buy, regardless of brand.

For many, it's simply seen as a 'margin maker'. But for us, it's an essential garment in its own right.

As a result, we spend so much making ours that it's actually one of - if not the - lowest margin products we make.

Our product ethos is to only make things we believe we can measurably improve. And when you try our cap, you'll understand immediately where that extra money gets spent.

The Kostüme cycling cap unashamedly breaks with tradition from the outset, starting with a 5-panel construction popularised by skate and street wear.

The 5-panel design allows for a more structured fit with cleaner application of graphics, and while it won’t make you ride any faster, it will definitely turn heads off the bike.

And thanks to the supreme venting performance of the perforated recycled main fabric, you’ll definitely feel cooler, with none of the hotspots normally created by the bulky seams and stitching of traditional caps.

Coupled with an extra-wide elasticated headband, plus a ponytail hole for longer hair styles (believe it or not we were the first cycling cap on the market with this 'innovation') you could say that we’ve reinvented a classic.
