In early promotional pieces regarding the marking of Ritchey's 50th Anniversary, Tom himself mentioned the likelihood of a Winter Wool Cycling Cap- and here it is! Made for Ritchey by Bello Cyclist, this cap is made with Italian wool, which looks great and naturally regulates heat and moisture. Fresh out of Europe, made in limited quantities and sold at a great price, the Ritchey 50th Anniversary Winter Wool Cycling Cap is warm, simple in design and has contrasting white logo's on a lovely black wool cap. Wool adds warmth, comfort and natural wicking properties, with low relative bulk. The panel structure offers fit flexibility, along with a twill elastic rear hem. And yes, this "winter" cap has a wrapping brushed fleece inner surface draft flap that drops down when you need extra warmth,. This is made from a soft polyester fabric that breathes well and protects just enough while maintaining warmth and has a protected outer surface that can block light rain or moisture. The 4-panel construction and slim visor are true cycling cap features, and the design is as accommodating as possible for a "one size fits most" construction.

If you support Tom Ritchey's presence and history in the cycling worlds, and ride in cold weather, you'll want one of these winter wool caps. The rear of the cap has the 50th Anniversary logo graphic, while the underside of the bill has the Ritchey wordmark graphic. The design and graphics are well executed overall and make for a solid black look up front when the visor is down. The effect is both simple and bold, adding a somewhat unique aesthetic to this winter cycling cap.
