Just like the Australian Budgie with its speed, grace and beauty, the new Down Under Collection Cycling Cap's flippant style will help you fit in with the flock nicely.
Your head is a susceptible part of your body that is constantly berated by the sun. Over time, this could lead to some issues, which is why Specialized developed the Deflect™ UV Cycling Cap. It's not a substitution for sunscreen but will help to combat the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
Specialized didn't make this cap out of tinfoil so it's not a cure-all bit of snake oil. It does, however, serve up a UV 50+ level of protection, which is more than your hair or helmet are offering. Add to this the obvious benefit of the fine-as-silk VaporRize™ fabric blocking sweat from trickling down into your eyes, plus the fact that this lightweight material is actually remarkably cooling, and you're looking at a smart solution to your summer riding. Stay protected.
It is hard not to be affected by the dramatic scenes in Australia, and it was this that inspired Specialized to do something to honour the country by creating a collection in support of the Australian Wildlife for the #TourDownUnder but also donating $100,000 to aid relief efforts from the devastating bushfires. The collection is designed to echo the plumage of the friendly budgie, a colourful icon of Australia's wildlife affected by the fires.
