[Manager's comment]
Recommended for those who can't decide what hat to wear! Actually, Ridge Mountain has so many great hats that it's hard to choose! This is the new NT version of Ridge Mountain's classic Basic Cap.
It's more breathable and stretchy than the standard version, making it perfect for summer. It doesn't have a top button and the brim isn't too long, so you can even wear a helmet over it!
It's also lightweight and goes well with both everyday wear and mountain wear, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hat.
I wanted to sell this hat so much that I even consulted with Ridge Mountain about it!
"Difference between Basic Cap and Basic Cap NT"
The design is the same for both, but the main fabric is different.
The Basic Cap is made of 100% nylon material, Toray's Stunner®
Basic Cap NT is made of 100% polyester material, Komatsu Matere Co., Ltd. COOL DOTS®
"Usage"
Both can be used throughout the year, but if we compare
The Basic Cap is highly windproof and keeps you warm even when it's chilly. It has a cotton-like texture.
The Basic Cap NT is highly breathable and stretchy, making it ideal for summer activities.
[Quote from manufacturer]
The body of the cap has a simple six-piece design. Unlike cycling caps, which have a shallow silhouette and short brim, the Basic Cap has a deep fit and a moderate brim length.
It strikes the perfect balance between being resistant to the effects of wind and blocking the sun. Every detail has been carefully thought out to ensure stress-free use both outdoors and everyday life. Before creating this cap, I tried caps from a number of outdoor brands. However, they were all a little shallow and didn't fully cover the ears. Especially on windy days, I had to be careful not to let the cap fly off, which was stressful.
My head circumference is a little large, so commercially available caps didn't fit me. After that experience, I had the desire to create a cap that I would feel truly comfortable in. And so, in 2019, the Basic Cap was born. The concept and design of this cap have remained unchanged to this day.

[Manufacturer description]
RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR is a manufacturer that makes tools to simplify your time in the mountains and your daily life. It all started when I tried making my own mountain gear for my own use. As I made various tools with a sewing machine, more and more people expressed interest in buying them, so I decided to start a brand within the scope of what I could do myself.
