FAQs
Is this cap suitable for very cold weather?
While the cap offers excellent windproof and waterproof protection, it is not insulated. It's best suited for moderate temperatures where rain and wind protection are the primary needs.
How do I fold the peak for packing?
Gently fold the peak in half, then fold it again into quarters. The material is designed to be moldable and should not be permanently creased by this action.
Can I machine wash the cap?
No, hand washing in cool water is recommended. Machine washing and tumbling can damage the waterproof membrane and the fabric's structure.
What does SPF 40+ protection mean?
SPF 40+ indicates that the cap's fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing significant sun protection for your head and face.
How durable is the soft brushed nylon outer?
The nylon is designed to be durable and water-resistant for outdoor use. While it can withstand regular wear and tear, like any fabric, it may show signs of age with extensive and prolonged rugged use.
What is the main advantage of the three-layer Aquasealz™ construction?
The Aquasealz™ construction is the core of the cap's waterproof and breathable performance, ensuring that water stays out while allowing some moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Cap does not feel secure
Adjust the buckle clip at the back of the cap to tighten the fit. Ensure it is positioned comfortably and securely on your head.
Water seeping through seams
While designed to be waterproof, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure may challenge the seams. Ensure all parts of the cap are properly oriented and consider re-waterproofing if the issue persists after washing.
Inner lining feels damp
This can be due to perspiration. The breathable mesh inner helps, but in very high exertion, some moisture may build up. Ensure the cap is properly aired out and dried after use.
