The Trekmates Atacama Cap is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who need reliable sun protection without sacrificing portability. Its standout feature is the zip-away legionnaire flap that shields your neck from harmful UV rays, while the triple-fold design ensures it fits into the smallest spaces. While it offers excellent performance in hot climates, the polyester construction may feel less breathable than natural fiber alternatives during extremely humid, low-activity conditions.

The Atacama Cap is designed for sun protection and is not intended to be a waterproof rain hat.
It is recommended to hand wash only to preserve the structural integrity of the triple-fold peak and the effectiveness of the UPF treatment.
The S/M is designed for smaller head circumferences, while the L/XL provides a larger fit suitable for medium to larger head sizes.
Yes, when fully deployed, the flap is designed to drape over the ears and the back of the neck for comprehensive coverage.
No, the flap is permanently attached to the cap for security; it is designed to be stowed internally when not in use.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently clear any dust or grit from the slider.
Smooth the fabric out with your hands and wear the cap; the natural warmth of your head will help release remaining creases.
To use the legionnaire flap, locate the small zipper along the rear brim of the cap and pull the flap out. Ensure it is fully extended for maximum skin coverage. To stow, fold the flap neatly into the designated internal slot to keep the profile slim. When packing for travel, fold the peak along the creases and slide it into the provided stuff sack to prevent snagging on other equipment. For cleaning, hand wash the cap in cool water with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the UPF protection rating of the fabric.
