Thread: Wool cycling caps: whats good?

Check out these guys: http://www.cimacoppi.ca They make an awesome wool cap, if you email and ask they will make ones with merino ear warmers too. The quality is incredible with fine Italian wools. They also make wicked merino wool jerseys. Those look pretty nice. How do...

Endura makes a series of wool cycling caps, check them out.

Smartwool Beanie, it's thin, warm, fits under all my helmets, and just covers my ears. Flyn G

Not wool, but I got a team discovery nike/giordana winter cycling cap off ebay for 10 bucks. Great hat, long ear flaps, solid brim, plenty warm. One of the better bike accessory pieces I own.

why wool? if my ears are cold im dying. everything else can freeze but my ears really get me! i have a super thin sugio under-helmet specific cap that doesnt let me down. anywhere else on my body i really dont like synthetic material. some of those octopuscaps are awesome! doersnt look like they'd be comfy with a helmet at all though.

walz caps are pretty sweet

Walz Cycling Caps come to mind...I believe they make 29er specific wool cycling caps
