Product Information
Full details
The Patagonia Terrebonne Lightweight Cap is designed for adult athletes and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize performance during high-output activities like trail running or climbing. This unisex, mid-crown hat excels at moisture management due to its fast-drying polyester construction and DWR finish, providing excellent breathability; however, its ultra-lightweight design means it lacks the structural rigidity of a traditional trucker or baseball cap.

FAQs
Is this cap machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the shape of the brim.
Is the cap adjustable?
Yes, it features an adjustable back closure to ensure a secure fit for most head sizes.
Does it provide UPF sun protection?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is primarily designed for breathability and moisture management rather than high-rated sun protection.
Can I wear this under a bike or climbing helmet?
Yes, its low-profile, mid-crown design makes it an ideal candidate for wearing underneath helmets.
Is the brim stiff or flexible?
The brim is flexible and lightweight, allowing it to be folded or stuffed into a pocket while retaining its functional shape.
Troubleshooting
The cap loses its shape after packing
Simply hand wash the cap and reshape it while damp, then allow it to air dry fully.
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a water-repellent spray treatment after cleaning to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terrebonne cap, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water using a mild, technical-friendly detergent to preserve the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry by laying the cap flat in the shade. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Due to its unstructured nature, this cap can be easily folded and stuffed into a vest pocket or running belt without permanently losing its shape.
- Maintenance: If the water repellency fades over time, you can refresh the DWR coating using a specialized spray-on treatment for outdoor apparel.
