The classic cycling casquette, made in Italy — short peak, clean panels and Café du Cycliste’s quiet French styling.
- Anti-bacterial tape lining the inside band · breathable, fast drying
- Strong elasticated back · fits under a helmet · folds into a jersey pocket
- Unisex one size · 65% polyester / 35% cotton · Italian fabric
The cycling cap is one of the few pieces of kit that has never needed redesigning. The Gapette stays true to that — short peak, clean panels, no logos shouting — with the quiet French styling Café du Cycliste is known for.
What makes it worth wearing in the UAE is the fabric: breathable and fast drying, with anti-bacterial tape around the inside band so it does not turn sour after a few hot rides. A strong elasticated back holds it in place under a helmet, and it folds into a jersey pocket the moment you do not want it.
Who it is for
- Anyone riding in UAE sun — the peak keeps low morning and evening light out of your eyes on Al Qudra and Nad Al Sheba.
- Riders who sweat through headwear. The anti-bacterial lining is the reason this one lasts a season rather than a month.
- Coffee-stop cyclists. Helmet off, cap on, and you still look like you meant it.
- Cooler winter mornings too — a cap under the helmet takes the edge off a 6 am start.
