Casual caps and hats are the off-bike layer every rider reaches for between rides. This range covers trucker caps, retro panel caps and knit beanies from Leatt, Merlin, Macna and Bolt. Mesh-back trucker builds keep things cool, structured fronts hold their shape, and adjustable closures dial in the fit at the paddock or the cafe.
How to pick a casual cap or beanie
Casual headwear splits into three clear builds, and the right one depends on climate and fit. Trucker caps run a mesh rear for airflow, retro caps use a full fabric panel for a heavier feel, and beanies use knit acrylic for cold mornings.
| Style | Build | Fit | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trucker Cap | 5-panel front, mesh rear | Snapback, one-size adjustable | Warm days, airflow |
| Retro Cap | 6-panel structured fabric | S to XL fitted | Year-round daily wear |
| Beanie | Knit acrylic, single layer | One-size stretch | Cold mornings under 10C |
Sizing that holds
Fitted caps run across a 4-size span from S to XL, covering roughly 54cm to 62cm head circumference. Snapback truckers use a plastic adjuster with around 8 to 10 click positions, so one size spans 55cm to 60cm. A curved peak shades roughly 7cm forward. Measure around your head 2cm above the brow for the truest read.
Know the limits
These are casual, off-bike caps and hats. They carry no EN 17092 abrasion rating and no CE Level 1 or Level 2 armour, so they are not riding protection. For on-bike safety, a certified helmet is the only headwear that counts. Pair your cap with proper kit and keep the lid for the ride.

What is the difference between a trucker cap and a retro cap?
A trucker cap uses a 5-panel front with a mesh rear for airflow on warm days. A retro cap uses a 6-panel structured fabric build with no mesh, giving a heavier feel and more consistent shape for year-round daily wear.
Can I wear these caps while riding?
