'CYO' plain organic cotton winter cycle cap
“ I loved being able to chose my own colourway and the process was just so simple. When the cap arrived I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the materials and the way it was made. “

You can now create your own Alleyhats winter cycling cap. Take your pick from our selection of organic cotton outer fabrics, cotton poplin linings and jersey ear bands.
The Alleyhats winter cycling cap has been created for those of you who find wool caps too hot but want that extra protection against the bitter winds. It uses our classic 4 panel cotton cap with the addition of a jersey band to cover your ears. Often complimented on our choice of peak (it’s slightly wider than most) you’ll find it provides excellent protection against the elements, as well as a great fit under your helmet.
We use a micromodal jersey (made from renewable Austrian beech wood) for our coloured ear bands and a bamboo/organic cotton jersey for our black ear bands. Both of these natural fibres create a breathable, absorbent material offering anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic qualities; making them a great choice for sensitive skin and ideal for hot heads on long rides.
