Columbia Youth Snap Back

Use:

• Designed for youth, the Columbia Youth Snap Back cap is ideal for protecting them from the sun during their outdoor adventures, whether in the city or in nature.
• Perfect for activities like hiking and water activities or activities near water, where sun protection for the head and face is essential.
• Its design combines style and comfort, making it a versatile accessory for daily use, light sports activities, and weekend getaways.
• The Columbia brand created this cap thinking about the need for a durable and adjustable accessory to accompany youth in their growth and exploration, offering a practical solution for sunny days.
• It offers a solution to keep the head cool and eyes protected, thanks to its visor and the incorporation of materials that promote breathability.

Features:

• It features an adjustable "snap back" rear closure, which allows for a personalized and secure fit as the youth grows. This feature ensures the cap comfortably adapts to different head sizes and prolongs its lifespan.
• It incorporates a lightweight and breathable mesh in part of its structure, which facilitates ventilation and helps keep the head cool during hot days or intense activities.
• Its classic design with a visor provides effective protection against sun rays, shielding the face and eyes from direct exposure.

Materials:

• The cap is made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Cotton provides softness, natural breathability, and comfort against the skin, ideal for daily use. Polyester, on the other hand, adds durability, wear resistance, and contributes to the garment's quick-drying properties, making it suitable for outdoor activities and continued use.
