Montbell Wickron Cool Light Shade Cap

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A highly breathable, compact, and crushable cap that stashes in your pack or running vest. The Wickron Cool Light Shade Cap has a large sun cape to shade your neck.

Montbell says: 

Lightweight, highly breathable and quick-drying fabric features a shade to cover the neck while trail running and backpacking. The shortened brim maintains vision and keeps from getting caught in the wind. The hat easily fits under a helmet and the neck shade tucks away when not needed.

Our Verdict

The peak of this cap isn’t ridged; it can lay completely flat or be scrunched down to stuff into a side pocket or running vest. This is an incredibly breathable cap with a moisture-wicking internal headband to help you stay cool and comfortable on the trail.

The neck shield tucks away, but sadly not in to its pocket, just into the hat itself.
