Headwear

An excellent, stylish and versatile addition to your cycling wardrobe – and it's as cheap as chips

Excellent bit of kit that offers plenty of warmth and virtually no bulk, all at a great price

Well-executed cap that performs well but does come up a little small

Thick neck warmer that keeps the warmth in and cold out without becoming damp – even on the coldest winter days

Warmer than you'd expect from a reasonably thin hat, and feels lovely next to the skin

Stylish and comfortable, with a shapeable brim for that perfect look

Capable cap with some lovely touches and fabric but its hot-weather wicking is good rather than great.

Comfortable and warm, with the bonus of a highly effective water-repellent layer

Stands up to even heavy rain without issue, yet is breathable enough for warm days too

Warm, windproof and comfy head and face protection for cold weather, but expensive

The best neck warmer I've ever used – its construction lets merino wool's natural qualities shine. But wow, it's expensive!

Lovely fabric, but real-world performance isn't wildly better than far cheaper warmers

Very comfortable with excellent performance thanks to high merino content, but expensive

Comfy and stylish, but it's a shame it's not truly waterproof given the price

Good value, soft and warm, but a bit of extra length would add versatility

Beautifully shaped and made from comfortable, stretchy, breathable fabric – a great cycling cap

A big outlay, but worth it for the high quality, warmth and comfort

Warm, light, stretchy and made from good quality thermal fabric

Warm, comfortable, breathable and stylish hat and scarf set – though the former is best for off-bike use

Not as warm as some, but a great fit that means it can be layered for deep winter use

Light, soft and comfortable, this is great for winter rides – as it should be for the price

Comfortable, useful and really well made, as it should be for the price

Premium high-performance neck warmer for fast rides in the cold and wet

Excellent protection for your eyes from rain and sun, and your head from rain

Effective, good-looking and comfortable cap with a rugged build
