FAQs
Is this cap suitable for very hot weather?
While the cap is breathable, it is designed with waterproof membranes which can make it feel warmer than non-waterproof caps in extreme heat. It is best suited for conditions where waterproof protection is beneficial or for cooler weather running.
How do I clean the cap?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.
What does SPF 40+ protection mean?
SPF 40+ indicates that the cap provides a high level of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn on your head and face.
Can I put this cap in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the cap to preserve its waterproof properties and material integrity. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
How does the rear velcro adjuster work?
The velcro strap at the back allows you to easily tighten or loosen the cap for a personalized and secure fit.
Is the pattern on the cap subtle?
The cap features a geometric triangle mountain print on the back panel, which adds a distinctive visual element. While not covering the entire cap, it is a noticeable design feature.
What are the benefits of the foldable peak?
The foldable peak allows you to easily compress the cap, making it compact and convenient to store in a pocket or running pack when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the rear velcro strap to find a secure, comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is clean for maximum grip.
Water seems to be penetrating the cap.
Verify that all seams are intact and the fabric has not been damaged. Ensure the cap is properly fitted and that water isn't entering around the edges. Re-evaluate washing and drying methods to ensure care instructions are followed.
Reflective detailing is fading.
Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing and drying. Store the cap away from prolonged direct sunlight.
