Take the basic cycling cap design and add multiple panels of microfiber polyester and you get the POC Essential Cap. It is better in every possible way when compared to the standard cycling cap. The multiple panels feature a superb fit, with a cotton/poly blend fabric that has a soft feel with some wicking capability. The classic design and race stripes look deliver a clean, sporty look. Overall, the volume of the cap is low, so it will fit under your helmet without issue. As with most classic cycling caps, the rear band material stretches, but POC is offering the Essential Cap in two sizes for better fit options overall
