Castelli offers a new twist on a seemingly classic off-season wool cycling cap with the Risvolto Due Cap. Merino wool is the primary insulator and fiber of the exterior layer, but with some advanced technology, and a double layer polyester liner serves to add comfort on the skin and to improve and expedite moisture transfer. The wool blend neck and ear flap adds substantial coverage and maintains warmth no matter the conditions. While the Risvolto gives off a hipsterish type of vibe, it is actually fully functional in cool and wet weather, looks great., and fits sleekly under a helmet.
Nuyarn is a New Zealand-based fabric provider that has worked to deliver softer, more adaptable wool fibers. Warmer, stretchier, stronger and faster wicking, Nuyarn's Merino wool plays better with other fibers, allowing for more diverse usage. Overall, as the fibers are not over-twisted when spinning, the yarns have more loft, which holds more heat, and can more easily carry and and release moisture. All of these features improve performance. The 85% Merino wool and 15% polyamide blend is also lightweight and wears well, especially with the constant light friction of a helmet. Combined with the soft inner polyester layer, the Risvolto feels great, wicks very quickly, and holds plenty of heat for cool weather cycling, whether it be a commute or a training ride.
To that end, a reflective strip runs from the visor and wraps around the back of the head, just below helmet retention level, for about 230° of visibility. if you are looking for a stylish, short bill cycling cap with a traditional look, futuristic fabric capabilities, and plenty of warmth for Fall and Spring use, Castelli has you covered with the Risvolto Due Cap.
