What benefits can I expect from the M-SERIES Cap?

The M-SERIES Cap is designed to elevate your outdoor experience with premium features and thoughtful craftsmanship. As a 1% For The Planet contributor, it supports environmental initiatives, while its Bluesign® certified fabric ensures sustainable quality.

The cap offers UPF 50 sun protection on key areas, keeping you safe from harmful rays, and its unisex design, adjustable closure, and pliable brim deliver a comfortable, custom fit that’s easy to pack. With four breathable mesh panels and a SWIFTdry™ sweat-absorbing headband, it keeps you cool and dry, while a dark underbill reduces glare. 

What is the difference between the M-SERIES, F-SERIES and R-SERIES caps?

The M-SERIES Cap is designed to be highly breathable and moisture-wicking, ideal for keeping you cool during intense activity. It also features UPF 50 sun protection on the brim and sides, along with a pliable brim for comfort and packability.

The F-SERIES Cap is built with a more fitted and sleek aesthetic. It features a shorter 5cm peak and a reworked curved panel structure that improves breathability and performance. With a 56.5cm circumference, the F-Series offers a more snug, tailored fit for those who prefer a closer, more athletic look.

The R-SERIES Cap is engineered for a more streamlined, aerodynamic fit, ideal for racing and high-performance use. It uses a lighter, more structured design to reduce drag, combined with moisture-wicking fabrics and sun protection.

Can I wash my M-SERIES Cap?

Whilst the M-SERIES Cap is designed to keep you cool and dry, it is a given that you may want to wash the cap from time to time. That's why Fractel have ensured their M-SERIES Cap can be machine washed on a cold cycle. Use of a washable bag is recommended where possible.
