• Contains 2% elastane integrated into the cotton fabric, providing slight elasticity for a better fit and shape retention of the cap, especially in the internal sweatband or front panels.
• The mesh panels, characteristic of this model, are generally made of polyester or nylon (although the specific composition of the mesh is not detailed, these are common materials for this application due to their durability and quick-drying properties), allowing for excellent air circulation.
