Skull Cap - The Ultimate Sweat Diverting, Absorbent, Lightweight, High Performance Skull Cap

Comfortable and let the motorcycle helmets slip right on without bending your ears up. When it is hot, or you are hot, it helps keep the sweat out of your eyes! I have worn these under a straw hat when working in the yard when it is hot, love them.

As someone who reads all of the reviews for a product before I purchase it, I want my reviews to be as authoritative as possible for future buyers. Therefore, I wait until I have used a product several times before posting a review of it. I have now used this product for over 500 miles of bike rides in the past 45 days of summer in Central Florida. To be succinct.....this product works splendidly! I am a person who sweats profusely, especially my head. I once worked up a sweat replacing a lightbulb in a walk-in freezer. When riding my bike, I used to take along two water bottles. I used one for drinking and one for rinsing the sweat from my eyes. Then I saw another rider at a rest break wearing one of these and quickly looked it up on Amazon as soon as I got to a computer. Reading all of the reviews, I purchased this style and also purchased the one that ties in the back. The reviews mentioned that this style made someone's head hurt and that it left a mark across their forehead. The first time I wore it, I had a little discomfort and it did leave an indentation mark in my forehead that lasted for about 30 minutes. About the same time as a "bedhead" wrinkle from a pillowcase lasts on me. I then did the "unthinkable" (at least for me) and read the directions. Placing the sweat deflector where it was supposed to go, relieved any discomfort I previously felt and the mark lasted only about 15 minutes. Plenty of time for it to disappear before I got to my favorite post ride watering hole. Most remarkable aspect of my experience with this product is that it performs magnificently! NO SWEAT in my eyes PERIOD! No dangling drop of sweat on the end of my nose. PLUS when I take a break and remove the cap for a few minutes and then put it back on, it is like sticking my head in a bucket of ice! Bicycle riding in Central Florida in August and September, this extra benefit is a welcome relief. I also use it to work in the yard and any other jobs or activities, such as golf, where I have been plagued by sweat running into my eyes and also ruining caps and hats. I now know what to get as gifts for my hot-headed friends. P.S. I also have a rather large head and the one size on this fits perfectly for me; after I read the directions on its correct placement. You do NOT need to pull it down flush with the top of your head. Indeed, it actually works better for air flow if you have some "slack" in the top of the cap instead of pulling it down to your ears.

I have a few Halo Skull Caps and am pleased with the quality - I'm especially glad I ordered this one white. A s a person who is incredibly heat intolerant and sweats outside during the dog days of summer like a monsoon this particular cap made sense on multiple levels. * SPF factor of 30 * Micro Mesh breathes and allows for evaporation and natural cooling * Sweat Diverter is patented by Halo and keeps perspiration out of your eyes I'm not quite sure if I prefer the older sweat band, I do know I prefer the Halo Protex Skull cap because it's larger and has ties which I like. These caps run very, very tight. But they're so light and airy you're used to the ultra snug fit in no time. As for the "sweat diverter" it might take some getting used to, but the rubber is extremely soft - however it still leaves a red mark on your forehead which takes a bit of time to disappear. Perfect for under a helmet, a bike ride, or hanging out on a hot day these really do perform as promised. They're made in the USA and the finishing and stitch quality are superb. They may cost more than others but those issues stated above make them worthwhile for me to pay a little more. The only complaint I have is once again the small size. I'm a head shaver and this model is snug as in second skin snug, I'm not sure how guys with hair would be able to wear these in complete comfort. That said due to their popularity it appears to be no problem whatsoever. Halo products are made from their Patented "DRYLINE" materials which in addition to antimicrobial and odor elimination properties is made of 63% Nylon 23% Polyester and 14% Lycra. Remember to only hand wash or machine wash on cool settings and never use the dryer, always air dry.

I started cycling during COVID and needed something to keep the sweat out of my eyes on long rides. I've bought other sweatbands off Amazon and they are decent, moisture wicking, but AT BEST most of them are basically 2 pieces of rayon sewn together and maybe 3" wide in the front. HALO doesn't, the ENTIRE cap is lightweight moisture wicking material but also a VERY nice (absorbent) sweatband that wraps around the entire interior of the cap! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE... there is also as sizeable silicone "sweat channel" up front that redirects sweat to either side (and away from your eyes). THESE GUYS DID THEIR HOMEWORK!!! It fits, it works, I have a big (shaved) head and there is NO slippage even under my cycling helmet OR my motorcycle helmet. I do hope they upgrade the "sweatband" material to something even MORE absorbent (and maybe a few new colors) as I do have to wring-it-out a couple of times during LONG rides but this is EASILY the best skull-cap/sweatband "thingy" on AMAZON.

I’ve tried probably every single skull cap on the internet, and none of them work as good as this one. I work construction, and sweat profusely from my forehead, so finding a cap that keeps the sweat off my face was a challenge. This one proved its worth yesterday after my face was still dry after a 13 hour shift. I have a huge head, but this cap fits comfortably and doesn’t shift around like most of the other ones do. It’s very comfortable, and dries pretty quickly, especially if there’s a fan around. Well worth the money. The stars/stripes pattern is bad@ss too.

This is a high quality cycling cap. It is a good compromise between (light) weight and sun protection, and it is comfortable under a helmet on long rides. Don't worry about the complaints that the cap is too small. I wear a 7 1/2 size baseball cap, and this cap fits comfortably. I can even put it over the tops of my ears on colder days. That said, I haven't washed it yet, and if washing it in cold water causes shrinkage, I will edit my review.

It fits perfectly and it really absorbs a lot of sweat. It works great also to control your body temperature

I was running in the Phoenix summer, sometimes going miles in 107°F (42°C) with no shade - EXTREME sweat. This cap works fantastically for providing sun shade on the top of the head and keeping sweat out of the eyes... ...for as long as it lasts. The rubber strip on the forehead is glued on and not as elastic as the headband it's glued to. This means that ever time you wear it, the headband is trying to stretch away from the strip. First the ends start coming off, then so much they fall out of the cap and I had to cut them off to get a little more use out of it, and after a few months the entire thing comes off. Then it's just a below-average skull cap. If they fixed the elasticity differential, or attached the band some way other than with glue, this would be an easy 5/5. As it stands I will not be purchasing another one now that I need a replacement.

Producto excelente

Ive found the halo headband excellent in the summer. This skull cap seems to be really effective in colder weather

Ces bandeaux aident beaucoup lors de gros efforts. Pour faire simple , quand les bandeaux simples de tennis tenaient même pas 10 mn, celui-ci permet d'être au sec pendant 45mn.

I purchased this in 2020. I bike at least 200 days a year and it still looks brand new. It washes well and I find the fit to be excellent. Its UPF rating is very high.

Excellent.
