10. Z Vetements Retro Cycling Cap
Moving up the list is our waterproof Lisboa Cap - which shows just how bad the weather has been this year! Many think that cycling caps are only for the Summer, but we beg to differ - and our Lisboa cap is evidence of that. Using a lightweight dual-membrane fabric, this windproof and waterproof cap is ideal for difficult conditions. thanks to the properties of the Lisboa fabric that repels water keeping you dry. With a reflective logo pattern across the side panelling, this cap is also great in poor conditions, and comes in plenty of other colours!
Three newcomers take the podium this year, and in bronze it's the Bianchi Neon Large Polka Dots Cap! A household name in cycling, it's no surprise that Bianchi's cycling caps maintain the same great quality that we see across all the kit we stock from them here at Prendas. Made from Tela K2 fabric it's a popular choice for those that want a classic style with some cutting edge performance and comfort - those polka dots sure help it to stand out with that eye catching logo!
Cinelli's Art Program series have remained a firm favourite for our customers over the years, and 2024 was no different, with the Jungle Zen Cap making the top five. This particular design, which also made our list in 2020 comes from Italian illustrator Lida Ziruffo.
The second of Bianchi's range to feature on our list this year is the Neon Blue Cap. Featuring a classic style, this cap combines a retro look thanks to the combination of the black and white checkerboard central band set against the Azzurri blue of the cap itself.
Our San Pellegrino cap drops two places from 2023, but remains a favourite at Prendas. The perfect match to our short and long sleeve jerseys, as well as the entire San Pellegrino collection in that dazzling orange. Thanks to a recent adjustment of the exact hue used in production, this cap is more accurate to the original retro than ever before.
A regular favourite Stateside returns to our top 10 this year in the classic blue, made famous by the legendary Roger De Vlaeminck. Though it features the iconic bridge, it's not widely known that the chewing gum brand was entirely made in Italy! You can read more about the Brooklyn team in our blog post deep dive written by cycling historian Pedr Charlesworth.
Down five places to eighth this year, it seems that our customers have gone for a little more colour which we're always happy to see! But when it comes to sleek, you can't go wrong with the all black cap. It's a favourite with cycling clubs looking for a base to add their own branding which prints so well on these cotton caps, with just a small Prendas logo on the side, these are made in Italy with the same quality fabrics as the rest of our range.
Back in the best-sellers this year in tenth place it's the Z Vetements cap - an accurate representation of the design worn by the team from 1987-92. A huge departure from the classic black and white chequers, Greg Lemond, Robert Millar and Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle all rode in the famous comic-book-inspired team colours of Z - making this one of the more memorable caps of yesteryear!
