Materials:

• Front panels and visor made with a blend of 98% cotton and 2% elastane. Cotton, with a 98% composition, offers natural softness, good breathability, and comfort against the skin, ideal for prolonged use. The 2% elastane provides slight elasticity, improving the cap's fit and adaptability to the head's shape without sacrificing structure.
• Back panels made of mesh, commonly polyester or nylon (exact material not specified, but functionally optimized for ventilation). This mesh is lightweight, and its open structure is designed to maximize airflow, offering excellent breathability and aiding in the rapid evaporation of sweat, keeping the head cool and comfortable.
