I am a CPAP user, and one day my barber looked at my hair and asked if I used a CPAP. She said it was effecting my hair and suggested I get a cap to wear when I slept. I looked at a ton of options, and since I was a former triathlete, I was familiar with Pearl Izumi. (And a big fan.) This looked exactly like what I was searching for. Since it was made to wear under a bike helmet, it did not cover my ears, which made me happy. It has a light band inside that prevents slipping or sliding off in the night. The fabric was also on the lighter side, allowing my scalp to breathe.I wear it every night. It works exactly as I had hoped! No slippage. My hair is rarely matted haphazardly in the morning, like it had been before wearing the cap. (Usually my fault, read on..) My suggestion would be to make sure your hair is flat under the cap before you put on the CPAP mask. After about a week it can get a little loose. I then wash it and it’s back to normal. it is a tad warmer on my head, than wearing nothing, but not a big deal. Quality product! Highly recommend!

Perfect for keeping my bald head out of the sun. An added benefit is that my helmet no long moves around during rides and does not push my glasses down. Wondeful product, high quality, good fit, etc.

Works great to keep the sun from burning my scalp through the vents in my helmet, and also helps to keep sweat from dripping down my face as much. Sits high enough on my head to not cover my ears, which is great (doesn’t interfere with sunglasses). I’ve also used these in colder weather for a little extra warmth. Overall nice construction and super comfortable!

Se ajusta perfecto y en mi caso lo uso debajo del casco, y no me incomoda en lo más mínimo.

Very neat, fits snuggly, doesn’t feel sweaty. Great for under a cycling helmet, discrete pearl izumi logo at the front. Not cheap but that’s pearl for you.

Great bike skull cap that fits well under my biking helmet. Light weight and better for warmer weather than the Gore-Tex cap I have for much cooler weather.However, it is a One Size Fits All !!!!A very tight fit stretched over my head of medium hair. After it worn and washed a few times, it has loosened a bit and is more comfortable to wear on rides.So if you have more hair and/or a larger head hat size, it will be a very tight and uncomfortable fit.Otherwise, a great weather trade-off with my Gore-Tex warmer cap.

Excellent quality. Unlike another skull cap I bought, this one has kept it’s shape and hasn’t discoloured. Fits my large head perfectly. Extra fold of fabric along the brow keeps sweat off the face. Very comfortable under a helmet.

My hair is thinning and I keep it cut pretty short. I sometimes ride my bike for 6+ hours at a time and I have burned the top of my head before in lines where the sunlight shown through the air vents in my helmet (giving me an odd "grilled" look). This skull cap is very thin and made of a moisture wicking material that dries very quickly so it does not trap heat or sweat. As an added bonus, it also came in very handy when I was riding gravel trails in Wisconsin and rode through several swarms of gnats. I hate the feeling of a tiny insect crawling on my head under my helmet and this skull cap spared me that discomfort. It also fit perfectly on my head (most skull caps are a little too tight for me to wear comfortably for long periods of time).

I was very worried about sun exposure while cycling this year as I'm pretty much bald. I also didn't want to put sunscreen on my head because that would sweat right down in to my eyes no doubt. This fits perfectly without bunching under my helmet, doesn't impede my sunglass use, and seems to do the trick. It arrived quickly as well.

I bought this to wear under hiking hat since it's a smaller footprint than the other skull caps.pros -1.comfortWith silicone rubber it stays on my head comfortably and securely.Some other skull cap I have with spandex can be really tight and a bit uncomfortable on my head.cons -1.expensive Way over-priced for such a small piece of fabric.2.fray easilyIt's easily frayed with no contact with sharp objects. The only contact is my fingers with very short nails.I have been wearing Pearl Izumi for a long time and have realized its qualities have been going down.Since a while back, I started to get Castelli whenever I need something new.Castelli may be (and may be not when on sale) a bit more expensive but its fabric and quality are way better.

This is the third "skull cap" I've bought here because I lost one and I like having a spare on hand. I use them to protect my skull under my cycling helmet while riding under the intense Arizona sun. All three of these that I've purchased here are sized the exact same and fit my 7-1/4 to 7-3/8 head perfectly. Also they fit my head on top as in there is not a bunch of extra material to clump or pile between my head and helmet. I've tried several other brands from other stores and these are the best and most comfortable I've found.
