CloseProduct details
Early morning on the KVR or hammering out a lap of the Okanagan Rail Trail before the valley heat climbs past 30°C — that's exactly when you want a cap that does its job without thinking about it. The Rapha Cap II is a classic piece of cycling kit built for the rider who wants sun and sweat managed simply, with a brim that flips down against the glare and tucks away when you don't need it. It's the kind of understated accessory that's been in a cyclist's kit bag for generations, now updated with better construction for modern riding.

| WHO IS THIS FOR |
The Rapha Cap II is for the road and gravel cyclist who wants a reliable, no-fuss lid layer under their helmet — someone who cares about the details without overcomplicating their kit. If you're riding long days on Kelowna's local routes in July and August, the brim earns its keep against a high-UV Okanagan sun. It's equally at home on a quick weekday spin on the Okanagan Rail Trail or a multi-hour gravel effort out toward Myra Canyon. It also folds flat into a jersey pocket, so it travels light. Whether you're new to cycling caps or replacing a favourite, this is one of the cleanest executions of a cycling classic on the market. The updated sizing means it fits a broader range of riders than the original, and the repositioned seams mean less brim pressure when worn under a helmet — a small change that makes a real difference on longer rides. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right size and fit in-store at both Kelowna locations.

| FAQ |
Q1: How does Rapha sizing run for the Cap II — true to size, or should I size up or down? The Rapha Cap II comes in two sizes: S/M (53–58 cm) and M/L (58–64 cm). Rapha sizing runs fairly true, but some riders with heads at the upper end of the S/M range find M/L more comfortable under a helmet. Measure your head circumference and compare against the size guide. Our team at Fresh Air can also help you decide in-store. Q2: Is the Cap II suitable for riding in Okanagan summer heat and high-UV conditions? The Cap II is built from breathable, quick-drying organic cotton with a water-resistant finish, making it a solid choice for warm-weather riding. The brim provides shade for your eyes and face on exposed routes like the KVR and Okanagan Rail Trail. Note: a UPF rating is not published for this cap [VERIFY with Rapha CA]. If UV protection is a priority, confirm with our staff or check the current product specs before purchasing. Q3: How do I care for an organic cotton cycling cap to maintain performance? Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, with like colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, as these can break down the water-resistant finish and the organic cotton fibres over time. Reshape the brim while damp and air dry flat — do not tumble dry, as heat can cause shrinkage and distort the brim structure. |
