The best winter caps for
Bangladesh are soft wool-blend or fleece-lined beanies and monkey caps that
cover your ears and fit snugly without itching. Buy early in November, check
the inside lining, and pick a size or stretch that stays on without squeezing.
This guide shows the types, materials and buying tips.
When do you need a winter cap in Bangladesh?
Winter in Bangladesh is short but
cold at night and in the early morning, usually from December to February.
Northern districts such as Rangpur, Dinajpur and Panchagarh feel colder, so
people there need warmer caps. Morning motorbike rides, early walks and night
travel make a cap especially useful. Stock is best, and prices are fairest early
in the season.

should return to shape after you pull it.

important in cold mornings and for bike riding.

the cap size guide; knit caps are stretchy but can be too small or too large.
