“By wearing a Thinking Cap when on the road it encourages me as a cyclist to consider what risks are worth taking.”

The 'Thinking Cap' was a product born out of cold ears and reflections on questionable road etiquette. Red lights are there for a reason and saying thank you to bus drivers goes a long way! Putting on a Thinking Cap means being thoughtful in your actions on the road. Worn under a helmet, they are knitted in lambswool, making them functional in an every-day context – they're warm, breathable and waterproof. Worn close to the head, they utilise the natural texture, flexibility and stretch of knitting.
