Belldorado Cycling Cap - Fresh Takoyaki-Party

Belldorado Fresh Takoyaki-Party is a cycling cap for anyone who likes their cycling clothing to have a sense of humor. Takoyaki is the Japanese street-food classic made with small batter-and-octopus balls—and Belldorado has turned the entire cap into a red-and-white tribute to the dish.

The design runs around the entire cap, featuring octopus tentacles, a smiling takoyaki, and Japanese characters across the brim. It is playful without feeling like a random print; as with Belldorado’s other caps, the shape itself is part of the illustration, and the design changes depending on whether the brim is folded up or down.

The cap is sewn from a blend of polyester and cotton and has an elastic edge for a comfortable fit. It is one size and fits approximately 56–59 cm. It is thin enough to wear under a helmet, but the Fresh Takoyaki-Party looks just as good on its own once the ride is over.

Belldorado designs its caps in Munich and has them made in Italy. Fresh Takoyaki-Party is a good example of the brand’s style: fundamentally a classic cycling cap, but with a design that is unlikely to disappear into the crowd.
