Mountain Equipment Flash Cap

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Flash cap is a great option for running and hiking. The light material is breathable with 2 strips of ventilating mesh running down each side of the cap while still providing a rating of UPF 50+ for sun protection.

Sunday Afternoons says: 

The Flash Cap is a light, breathable, 6-panel ball cap perfect for tennis, errands, or a sunny walk about town. UPF 50+ sun protective and made from 100% recycled bluesign® certified fabric, the wicking sweatband and stretch-comfort adjustable sizing make it the perfect companion when temps rise. Reflective details and dark underbrim help get you noticed in low light while protecting your eyes when the sun shines bright.

Our Verdict

The Flash Cap feels really comfortable with stretchy material, an easily adjustable strap at the back so you can change it while running without having to stop and also a high-wicking sweatband in it. Ideal for long-distance runs or hikes in the summer where other caps may feel tight and uncomfortable.
