Use:

• Essential sun protection for outdoor activities like hiking and walks, keeping your head shielded from UV rays.
• Versatile daily use, ideal for complementing a casual outfit and protecting yourself from the sun in urban environments or during daily errands.
• Comfort and protection against the elements during travel and explorations, thanks to its adjustable design and repellent technologies.
• A practical accessory for maintaining visibility in low-light conditions during outdoor activities, thanks to its reflective details.

Features:

• Incorporates Omni-Shield™ advanced water-repellency technology, which repels moisture and resists stains by preventing liquids from being absorbed into quick-drying threads, ensuring you stay clean and dry in wet or dirty conditions.
• Adjustable back closure that allows for a personalized and secure fit for different head sizes, ensuring the cap stays in place during movement.

Materials:

• Outer shell made with a blend of 90% Nylon and 10% Polyester. Nylon provides durability, abrasion resistance, and quick-drying properties, ideal for active use. Polyester contributes to shape retention, wrinkle resistance, and colorfastness, in addition to complementing nylon's quick-drying capabilities. This combination seeks a balance between lightness and robustness for continuous outdoor use.
• Omni-Shield™ technology is integrated into the outer fabric, providing a water-repellent and stain-resistant barrier without sacrificing the inherent breathability of the nylon and polyester blend, keeping your head protected from light rain and splashes.
