ventilationLaser perforations on the side to ensure maximum ventilation
quick dryingThis cap takes less than 80 minutes to fully dry after being immersed in water.
breathabilityThis fabric allows moisture generated by the head to escape
moisture managementThe component absorbs and wicks away perspiration- My cap isn’t anti-UV?Rest assured that the fabric used to make this cap blocks UV rays with a UPF higher than 50 (excellent protection). This obviously isn't the case for the perforated side panels, therefore we can’t claim that the cap is anti-UV overall.
- How is polyamide more resistant?Polyamide offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Furthermore, this synthetic fibre is not susceptible to microorganisms or mould.
- How do you measure a fabric's quick drying capacity?The product is machine washed 3 times then line dried, then we immerse it in water and measure how long it takes to get back to its pre-wash weight. This cap scored an impressive 5 out of 5 stars, returning to its pre-washed weight less than 80 minutes!
