Do you own a cycling cap? Are they cringe or esse/n/tial?

I really want one but I got a gigantic head so the only brand who fits me are the hipster tweedride core ones like wald.

It also doesn't really work for me from a functional perspective. It's hot as balls during the summer and I have a full head of hair so no cycling cap needed. I live in the midwest so we have like 2 weeks of fall. And this part of the year I end up wearing a skull cap that has ear coverage.

This year I found the wonder of the walmart hunting section. Those fat fucks have giant heads and know how to stay warm. Pic related: comfy as hell but you look like a murderous hillbilly in hunting camo.

Huntworth victor hat + realtree balaclava = $20 for full coverage. Deer will never even hear you pedal up on there dumb asses.

I wear a cycling cap everyday, it's part of my usual ride attire. I have a wool Walz cap with earflaps and it's great for winter riding, also for skiing/snowboarding.

yep. keeps the sweat out of your eyes, a place to put your sunglasses when they aren't needed, looks coolandgood.jpg. i have a couple vintage-styled remakes - classic team designs like 7eleven, san pelligrino, etc. a good wool one with flappy bois for your ears is important for the cold.

If you have problems with sweat dripping into your eyes on long rides, a cycling cap will be a revelation.

Also you don't have completely goofy looking helmet hair when you stop in the middle of the day for lunch/get coffee/whatever.

I have a beard. I've thought about shaving it, just to mix it up. Then I ride my bike /out/ when it's below freezing and I appreciate the extra insulation.

I'm fairly ambivalent about them. On one hand, I think it can be a good look, but it's not my personal style. In terms of function, I don't have sweat problems and my cold weather hat is wool with a brim, so warmth and rain are not a problem.
OTOH, I think on some people it comes off as douche-y

I have several thousand of them. They have a very specific use, and that's while riding, under certain weather conditions. Not ever rider or ride needs them.

Traditional roadie fashion asshole rules are very specific.

Notice how the fashion model in OP's pic isn't riding, doesn't have riding sunglasses, and appears to spend more time on mustache waxing than hill climbs?

I started riding with nothing. They I got a bandanna for the sweat. Then I bought a cycling cap for the sweat and the sun. On a tour I left it in my helmet one night (and my gloves too). When I woke up, I saw a chipmunk chewing on it, enjoying the salt. My gloves were totally destroyed, but my cap had survived. It might look shabby now, but I've worn it for nearly every one of the ~35,000 miles I've ridden since.

Cycling caps are easier to clean than the inside of your helmet

If you don't ride much, then you don't need one. It's kinda like bib tights or cycling jerseys, they seem superfluous until you need them, at which point life sucks without othem

like a baseball cap? I wear those but the visor partially blocks the wiev of road far ahead, witch is annoying. Cycling caps have shorter visors so I assume they don't have that problem or am I wrong?

More of a problem if you're on a road bike. if you're a fatty on a MTB the long visor is good because you're sitting bolt upright on your suspension seatpost.
