Specialized Deflect UV Speed of Light Collection cap

Stay protected

Darkness, Light, Speed—three elements so intertwined they cannot exist without the other. Nothing in the universe moves faster than light, but before and after is constant darkness. Inspired by this interplay and the futuristic landscapes the riders move through, the Speed of Light collection is equally intertwined—bikes and equipment existing together—to create the most stunning collection ever.

Look up. Yes, if you're lucky enough to be outside, that's the sun above. Now touch the top of your head. Yes, this susceptible portion of your body is being constantly berated by that sun above. Over time, this could lead to some issues, which is why Specialized developed Deflect™ UV Cycling Cap. It's not a substitution for sunscreen, per say, but it will help combat the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

Now, it's important to note that they didn't make this cap out of tinfoil, meaning that 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 does is actually remarkably cooling, and you're looking at a smart solution to your summer riding.


Features

  • Even finer than silk, VaporRize™ microdenier fabric delivers unparalleled moisture transfer and UV protection.
  • Designed to be worn under a helmet, which minimizes bulk and ensures that your helmet's fit and position won't be compromised.
  • Deflect™ UV 50+ protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
