How to choose the right cap for trail running?

• Choose a breathable fabric if you sweat a lot.
• Prefer a short visor to see the terrain, long for more shade.
• Opt for an adjustable and lightweight model for a perfect fit.
• If you run in the rain, prefer a water-repellent finish.

Recommended materials

Technical microfibers and polyester/elastane blends are ideal. They dry quickly and wick moisture. DWR treatments (durable water-repellent) help in light rain.

Care tips

• Wash by hand or machine on a delicate cycle, in a mesh bag.
• Avoid fabric softener to not alter technical properties.
• Air dry, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Refresh the water-repellent treatment with a specific spray if needed.
