Under the helmet or afterwards?

A thick Gore Wear cycling cap is designed more for the way to the meeting point, the café stop or the way home. Thinner models or an under-helmet cap are better suited for wearing under the helmet.

Whether a model is designed for wearing under the helmet can be seen from its thickness and cut. A cap that fits closely and covers your ears is more suitable for wearing under the helmet than a loose knitted hat.

Tip: Try on the helmet with the cap. If it sits too high on your forehead, it protects you less well in a crash.
