Cap buying guide: choosing depending on your needs
Skater or surfer, lifestyle caps
Lifestyle caps are a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts and urban fashion fans. They are ideal for displaying your style while protecting yourself from the sun.
- Brands like Black Diamond or Picture offer caps in various modern designs, ranging from snapback to trucker models.
- Lifestyle caps come in different shapes: baseball cap, 5 panels or curved, to adapt to all tastes and styles.
- These caps are designed to be comfortable and durable, perfect for everyday use.
Why should you wear a cap for outdoor activities?
For outdoor sports, a cap is much more than a fashion item. Beyond style, it offers several benefits that contribute to improving your experience.
- Sun protection: A cap helps protect the sensitive skin of the face and scalp from UV light. It is an effective way to prevent sunburn and the risk of developing skin cancer.
- Visual comfort: By blocking the sun directly in the eyes, it improves vision, which is crucial for activities where precision is essential.
- Sweat absorption: Caps specifically designed for sports are usually made with materials that absorb sweat, thus keeping the forehead dry and comfortable.
- Keeping hair out of your eyes: Caps allow athletes with long hair to enjoy their activity without being disturbed. Regardless of your discipline, a cap is an essential element of your equipment.
The sports caps offered by Glisshop are designed to provide great comfort and ventilation. This is the case, for example, of the Patagonia Duckbill Trucker Hat Climb Hike Surf. Fair Trade certified, its design helps you give your best, while staying in line with your values.
Which type of cap to choose?
Trucker caps
Caps known as ‘trucker hats’ are particularly prised for their relaxed style. Their main characteristic is their mesh back panel which guarantees good ventilation, ideal during intense skate sessions.
These caps have gained popularity in the 2000s and are now essential among streetwear fashion accessories. In addition to ventilation, these caps offer a perfect fit on the head thanks to their snapback closure.
Baseball caps
Baseball caps are generally made of 5 to 6 panels with a visor, offering both sun protection and a sporty look. They are offered by many brands and with a multitude of designs, ranging from classic to more modern models.
- Visor/brim: Baseball caps can have a curved or flat brim. The former is more traditional, while the latter offers an urban look.
- Adjustment: Most baseball caps have an adjustable strap at the back for a custom fit. However, some models, called ‘fitted’, are designed to perfectly fit the size of your head.
- Materials: They can be made of cotton, mesh, or other materials, depending on your preferences and needs.
Brands like Patagonia and Dakine offer a variety of styles and colours to match your personal tastes and style.
How to wear a flat brim cap?
The choice between a flat or curved brim primarily depends on the style you’re after and your activity. Flat brims, often associated with baseball caps, are appreciated for their sporty and modern look. They offer good protection against the sun and are a popular choice among riders.
On the other hand, curved brims stand out with their more pronounced curvature. They are generally found on ‘trucker’ or ‘snapback’ type caps. This shape is particularly appreciated for its comfort and ability to reduce glare.
- For sports requiring a wide field of vision, such as skateboarding, a flat visor is a wise choice.
- If you are looking for a more casual and traditional style, or for activities where glare may be a problem, opt for a curved visor.
The choice of brim shape is also a matter of taste.
What are the good cap brands?
Men's and women's caps
Caps are a fashion accessory for both men and women. If you demand the best from your style, French Disorder caps will satisfy you by adding a touch of colour to your daily outfit. On the other hand, more sober and elegant, caps from Noronna or Mammut will match any outfit. Finally, those from La Sportiva and Dynafit will be excellent models for physical activities, combining comfort and performance.
Children's caps
Caps for children are a popular choice for protecting kids from heat and sun in summer, while being stylish. They are available in a variety of brands, styles, and sizes suitable for the age and size of the child. In addition to its range of caps for little ones, the American brand Patagonia also designs children's bucket hats with Velcro strap, ideal to move freely without risking losing your hat!
