Full details
This lightweight, foldable cap is designed for adults seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like yard work, long walks, or stable tasks. Its key benefit is waterproof, breathable comfort with UV40+ SPF protection. A potential caveat is its one-size-fits-all design, which may not suit all head sizes perfectly. The cap features a durable soft brushed nylon outer, a waterproof and breathable Aquasealz™ membrane, and an inner mesh lining, all contributing to its packable and washable nature.

FAQs
Is this cap suitable for very heavy rain?
The cap is waterproof and designed to keep you dry in wet conditions, including rain. However, for extremely prolonged immersion in heavy downpours, minor seepage might occur over extended periods.
How do I clean the cap?
You should hand wash the cap using a mild, non-biological washing product. Avoid using bleach.
Can I put the cap in a washing machine?
No, the cap must be hand washed only to protect its waterproof membrane and fabric integrity.
How should I dry the cap?
Allow the cap to air dry naturally. It's important to keep it away from direct heat sources such as radiators or intense sunlight.
What does UV40+ SPF protection mean?
UV40+ SPF protection indicates that the cap provides a high level of defense against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Is the cap truly waterproof or water-resistant?
The cap features a 100% waterproof Aquasealz™ membrane, making it waterproof rather than just water-resistant.
What is the material of the cap?
The cap is made from a durable, soft brushed nylon fabric on the outer layer, with a waterproof and breathable Aquasealz™ membrane in the mid-section and a mesh lining inside.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the rear buckle to find a more secure and comfortable fit. If it consistently feels too small or large, it may be outside the intended size range.
Water seeps through the cap.
Ensure the cap is properly cared for according to the instructions. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. Hand wash with appropriate detergent and ensure it's fully air-dried.
Cap feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the interior mesh lining is clean and free from debris. Prolonged use in very high humidity can also affect perceived breathability. Allow for breaks in ventilation if needed.
