Many interpretations of the cycling cap evolved. Here's Barry Hoban, a professional in the 60s - 70s, wearing his version of the cycling cap to beat the heat.  

Fortunately, our cycling caps are handmade from pre-washed, lightweight linen/cotton to wick moisture and help keep you cool.  We welcome the dog days of summer.

The Merits of Linen/cotton

photo Red Dots Cycling

Yesterday, on my Sunday ride the weather hovered around (30C). The hot spell continues here in the lower mainland. And I always have a Red Dots cycling cap.

Many of our 3-season caps are made from linen cotton. We also use cotton and wool but love linen/cotton for it's natural characteristics. Linen is very absorbent, it basically pulls moisture away off the body and keeps you dryer. It's also lightweight, breathable & antibacterial. And you don't have to worry about shrinkage, we pre-wash our fabric. Chapeau to linen/cotton our favorite and hard working fabric!

Ride, Ride, Ride

We love this inspirational video by Movistar. Enjoy your riding weekend!

Pretty In Pink!

Many thanks to James for sending us this wonderful photo of his daughter enjoying her custom pink cycling cap!

The Tour de France is mightily huge and French riders are excitingly challenging for the podium.  Our French tribute has two versions; Version 1; French royal blue linen/cotton, full yellow ribbon, embroidered 'rd' with yellow dots (influenced by the yellow jersey) and a bold handmade French tricolor ribbon. Version 2; Everything the same as version 1, we decided to go for a retro look with a full vintage white ribbon.
