Men's sports caps

The sports cap

The sport cap protects from the sun, keeps your eyes in the shade and absorbs sweat from the forehead. For running, it should be very light, breathable and quick to dry, with a soft visor that doesn't obstruct your view. For outdoor training and team sports, a more classic, structured cap is suitable for sessions and can also be worn daily.

Frequently asked questions

Structured or unstructured cap, what’s the difference?

A structured cap, like the Nike Club, maintains its shape thanks to a rigid front panel and is worn daily. The unstructured one, like the Nike Dri-FIT Fly, is soft, light and can be folded into a pocket.

Which cap to choose for running?

Look for a very light, breathable cap that's quick to dry, with a soft visor. Models like Ciele or adidas Adizero Climacool are designed to wick away sweat during exercise.

How to wash a sports cap?

Wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, brushing the sweatband. Air dry it on a rounded support to maintain its shape, never in a tumble dryer.

How to adjust the size of a cap?

Most sports caps can be adjusted at the back with a buckle, a Velcro strap or an elastic cord. It should fit snugly without pressing on your forehead, even during a fast run or in strong wind.

Does a cap really protect from the sun?

It keeps your face and eyes in the shade and reduces glare, but does not protect the nape of the neck or the ears. Use sunscreen for long summer outings.
