RIDGE Comfy Basic Cap / リッジ コンフィー ベーシック キャップ

[Manager's comment]

Highly recommended for those who can't decide which hat to buy! Actually, Ridge Mountain has so many great hats that it's hard to decide! This is Ridge Mountain's classic Basic Cap. It has no top buttons 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 for anyone looking for a hat. I was so interested in carrying this hat that I even consulted with Ridge Mountain about it!

[Quote from manufacturer]

The main body has a simple six-piece design.

Unlike cycling caps, which have a shallow silhouette and short brim, the Basic Cap has a deeper fit and a moderate brim length.

It has an exquisite balance of being less affected by wind and blocking out sunlight well.

Every detail has been carefully thought out to ensure stress-free use both outdoors and in everyday life.

Before creating this cap, I tried caps from several outdoor brands.

However, they were all a little shallow and did not fully cover the ears.

Especially on windy days, I had to be careful not to let the cap fly away, which was stressful.

My head circumference is a little large, so commercially available caps didn't fit me.

After this experience, I began to feel that I wanted to create a cap that I would feel truly comfortable in.

And in 2019, "Basic Cap" was born.

The concept and design of this cap remain unchanged to this day.

【material】

The cap is made from Toray's Stunner®, a 100% nylon material that is water-repellent, windproof, and highly breathable. This high-performance material provides excellent protection from the elements, while reducing sweat and discomfort, ensuring a comfortable fit.

The greatest feature of Stunner® is its excellent durable water-repellent properties. It can withstand light rain as well as sudden changes in weather, and its water-repellent properties last for a long time, allowing you to enjoy it for a long time. In addition, it has excellent wind resistance, preventing cold air from entering, so you can keep warm even on chilly days. At the same time, its high breathability allows excess moisture to escape, maintaining comfort even during intense activity.

Although this material is a synthetic fiber, it has a natural and elegant appearance similar to that of a cotton blend. This natural look allows it to maintain high functionality as outdoor wear while also achieving a design that blends perfectly with everyday life and urban styling.

Furthermore, a special coating on the back of the fabric gives it a firm and resilient texture. This processing allows the fabric to retain its shape well despite its light weight, and it is also attractive in that it is less likely to wrinkle during use.

The sweatband is made of COOLMAX® fabric.

Made of 100% polyester pique material, it is quick-drying and has UV protection (UPF 40+).

[Manufacturer description]

RIDGE MOUNTAIN GEAR is a manufacturer of tools that simplify your time in the mountains and your daily life leading up to it.

It all started when I started making mountaineering equipment for my own use. As I made various tools with my sewing machine, more and more people started saying they wanted them, so I started a brand within the scope of what I could do myself.
