A remarkably lightweight cap for hikers and travellers, offering extensive sun protection.
The BUFF® Desert Cap is a versatile headwear that performs well under blazing sun and protects the skin from harmful UV rays. The cap is made of very light, quick-drying fabric that breathes well and wicks moisture away from the skin. A ripstop construction makes the fabric more durable.
The cap's 360° fabric protects the neck and nape exceptionally well from the sun. A two-part, overlapping shield improves airflow beneath the fabric. The fabric can be kept closed at the front or snapped to the back of the cap, placing the sun protection at the rear and sides. It can also be rolled up completely behind the cap or folded away underneath it.
Semi-stiff brim with recesses on top for sunglasses. Laser-cut holes on the sides of the cap improve air circulation. The reflective backing of the BUFF® logo enhances the wearer's visibility in low light. Adjustable size. 80% of the cap's materials are recycled.
