VERDICT:
It's black, it fits, it keeps your head warm, it's cheap; I like it
Weight:

Contact:
Lusso's thermal skull cap is a no-nonsense, close-fitting black hat that fits under your helmet and keeps your head remarkably warm considering it's not windproof. It doesn't cost much either.
It's not always easy to keep your head warm at this time of year. Hats can be a bit bulky to fit under a helmet and can reduce its effectiveness. A Buff works, but can be a bit thin. Enter the thermal skullcap: it's specifically designed to provide as much warmth as possible with as little bulk as possible and is a must-have for the year-round cyclist.
This one's put together from five panels of four-way stretch half-and-half nylon and polyester mix with a brushed lining. It fits well, and the seams are kept away from any pressure points. It comes down to just below the ears.
In use, it's easy to forget you're wearing it. Which is a good thing: no niggles with fit, and surprisingly warm for a non-windproof hat. And best of all, there's a penny change from a tenner.
It's available in black or black, size small to extra large.
Verdict
It's black, it fits, it keeps your head warm, it's cheap; I like it
