FAQs
Is this cap machine washable?
It is highly recommended to hand-wash this cap to protect the shape of the brim and the structural integrity of the mesh.
Does the cap provide sun protection?
Yes, the front panel and pre-curved bill provide effective shading for the eyes and face against direct sunlight.
Is the size adjustable?
This cap uses Flexfit technology, meaning it does not have a snapback or velcro adjuster; it provides an adaptive fit based on its elastic properties.
Can I wear this in the water?
While the mesh back dries quickly, the cotton front may become heavy if fully submerged; it is best kept as a dry-land accessory.
Is the black color prone to fading?
Like most cotton apparel, prolonged direct exposure to intense UV rays may cause minor fading over long periods; rinsing after sweat-heavy use can help mitigate this.
Troubleshooting
Hat feels too tight or loose
The Flexfit band is designed to stretch; try wearing it for 30 minutes to allow the elastic to conform to your specific head shape.
Brim has lost its shape
While the bill is pre-formed, you can gently reshape it by hand and leave it to sit in a dry, cool place to regain its curve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; the cap is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longest product lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently hand-wash the cap using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may fade the black fabric.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place the cap in a mechanical dryer, as high heat can warp the brim and damage the Flexfit elastic band.
- Storage: Avoid storing in cramped spaces for long periods to prevent deformation of the crown. When traveling, place the cap at the top of your pack or use a dedicated cap clip.
