TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

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!
