The C9 Cap is constructed from C9 Ripstop, an ultralight and highly breathable 100% recycled and recyclable polyester fabric made in Japan. A biobased durable water repellent (DWR) finish — free from PFAS and toxic chemicals — gives the cap wind and water resistance without adding weight. The slim-fitting, adjustable design dries quickly and provides reliable sun protection, making it a practical choice for high-intensity activities including running, hiking, kayaking, and surfing. At just 40g, it sits close enough to the head that you barely notice it.
