A running cap built for one job: keeping the sun off your neck and ears on long, exposed efforts. The featherweight canopy adds shade without trapping heat, and the mesh panels and laser-cut vents keep airflow moving. Niche, but the detail is right.
Runners tackling hot, shadeless routes where neck and ear coverage matters.
Cool-climate training, or anyone who finds extended-coverage caps too warm — a standard peaked cap is lighter.
Five-panel cap with a featherweight protective canopy over neck and ears, mesh side panels and laser-cut vents for airflow, quick-drying fabric, pre-shaped peak, and a drawcord fit. Built by British brand SOAR for hot, exposed runs.
