TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
ULTRA-LIGHT and ULTRA-COMPACT cap
Low weight was a priority during product development. Consequently, we chose:
an ultra-light main component
a flexible and shorter visor
You will forget you are even wearing this cap after a few minutes while it continues to protect you.
The flexible visor offers an excellent compromise between weight, compact form and practicality.
It can be easily stored away and squashed into a bag, belt or pocket, when you don't need it.
PERSPIRATION WICKING and VENTILATION
To guarantee optimal comfort during activity, perspiration wicking and staying cool are essential.
In addition to a quick-dry main component that transfers moisture away from your head, we have optimised the mechanical ventilation in a number of ways:
We have added laser micro-perforations to the side sections.
An opening has also been added at the back to improve air circulation.
What is an ADJUSTABLE visor?
The visor of our ultra-light running cap has been designed to be worn in two different ways:
In 'classic' or 'down' position, it protects from direct sun rays.
When it gets darker, choose the 'raised' or 'up' position for better visibility!
You can also wear the visor up just for a different look.
The height of the visor is 6 cm.
A plus for trail runners:
wearing the visor in 'up' position is nifty on slopes!
And what about the DESIGN?
A modern, stylish design, geared to performance.
This cap preserves the characteristics of its big sister - the 5-panel cap in our range - while being the lightest and most elegant of all.
To accentuate its technical features, our designer has included a pattern on the top and selected thermobonded finishing touches on some sections.
An essential running accessory - perfect to complete your outfit!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
If your visor loses its shape after being squashed in a bag, don't panic,
just wash and flat dry and it will return to its original shape!
Our running accessories, with thermobonded finishing touches, are not fond of washing machines and high temperatures.
We recommend that you preserve the technical qualities of the product by hand-washing it and drying it in the fresh air.
WHICH HEAD SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR THIS ONE-SIZE, NO-ADJUSTMENT CAP?
To make the most of your activity, it is essential to have a suitable product for your body shape (neither too small, nor too large).
This one-size-fits-all running cap has a stretchy component at the neck which can fit head sizes of between 54 and 59 cm.
Remember to measure your head size!
WHY PROTECT YOUR HEAD?
The hypothalamus located at the back of the head has several functions, including body temperature regulation. It is important to protect your head from the sun's rays, to prevent overheating and the risk of sunstroke that may cut your run short!
How to protect yourself from the sun:
Although this cap offers protection from the sun, the following precautions should be taken before heading out on the roads or trails:
- Check the weather forecast so you can bring appropriate equipment.
- Protect the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun throughout the race.
- Wear sunglasses.
- Regularly apply sunscreen.
- Eat and drink at regular intervals.
