Using the Element Cycling Cap is easy. Just put it on under your helmet before you start cycling. The elastic fit will keep it in place during your ride. When you're out in the sun, the brim will block the sunlight and prevent it from shining directly into your eyes. As you sweat, the cap will absorb the sweat and keep it off your brow. For maintenance, you can machine - wash the cap in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents as they can damage the cotton and the elastic. After washing, reshape the cap while it's still damp and let it air - dry. This will help keep its shape and ensure it lasts for many rides to come.
