[Manager's comment]

Recommended for those who can't decide which hat to buy! Actually, Ridge has so many great hats that it's hard to decide! This cap is recommended for those who don't need earmuffs but want a warm wool-like (wool) hat. Earmuffs are nice and warm, but can be a bit bulky when not in use. This is perfect for those who feel the same way!



[Quote from manufacturer]

The main body is a basic six-piece design. In contrast to the shallow body and short peak design of cycling caps, this cap is spacious and deep, with a peak that is just the right length to provide effective sun protection without being too affected by the wind.

Before making this cap, I tried on several outdoor manufacturer caps, but none of them felt too shallow for me and didn't fit all the way to the base of my ears. In windy situations, I felt very stressed out over the fact that I was constantly worrying about the cap blowing off. This is because I have a large head size (head circumference), and I'm not trying to criticize their products.

I created this "Basic Cap" with the aim of creating a cap that I can wear comfortably and without stress, even though I have a slightly larger head. For this reason, the head size (head circumference) is a little looser than regular caps.


When worn by a man with a typical head size (head circumference), the back feels a little tight.

If worn by a woman with a slightly smaller head size (head circumference), the back will puff out softly.

Another feature is that the look it gives changes depending on the size of the wearer's head.


【material】

The flannel is made from Australian Meri wool.

Flannel is a type of soft, brushed fabric. It is washable, stretchy, and has the excellent heat retention, breathability, moisture control, and anti-odor properties (antibacterial properties) that are characteristic of merino wool.


The sweatband is made of COOLMAX® fabric.

Made of 100% polyester pique fabric, it has moisture-wicking, quick-drying properties, and UV protection (UPF 40+).

【care】

We recommend putting it in a laundry net when washing.

Dark colored products may transfer color, so please wash them separately from other items.

Do not use detergents containing fluorescent brighteners or chlorine bleach.

Please avoid tumble drying.

When ironing, always use a pressing cloth and iron from the back.

The core of the bill is soft, so it will not break when bent. However, if you bend the bill too tightly, it will wrinkle and take time to return to its original shape. Please avoid bending it intentionally.



[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.
