Shibo Cycling Cap

$52.00

Before the first Tour de France, before the first Giro D'Italia, before clipless pedals were even a dream, the R&D department in Awa, now Tokushima, developed a wonder material. 

The cycling industry wants us to believe hyper synthetic techno engineered polymers are the path forward but we are pretty sure they got it right in 1897.

It’s called Awa Shijira-ori, an indigo died woven cotton.  The breathable shibo texture naturally lifts off your skin, creating tiny pockets of air that vent heat and dry fast. The quality of the material is apparent upon first touch, lightweight and soft it's the cycling cap equivalent to the most supple tire you've ever ridden. 

The four panel, helmet friendly construction has an incredible low profile fit with a brim that sharply flips. 

It comes in two sizes.  We don’t subscribe to 'One-Size-Fits-All; that usually means they fit nobody.  

Limited Run
(When we say limited we mean it, 20 caps of each colour made in each size. Possible restock but not till mid 2027. )

Multi-packs
If you can’t decide on just one or want to share with friends buying three (3) or more caps in any size or any style gets you 15% off ($7 CAD) per cap. Use discount code CAPPACK
