Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the coarse grip non-slip back strap. Ensure it is secured properly for a snug, but not constricting, fit.
Cap does not seem to be cooling effectively.
Ensure the vented side panels and perforated peak are not obstructed. Clean any sweat or debris that might be blocking airflow.
Fabric feels damp after a short period.
This is normal under heavy exertion due to the moisture-wicking properties. Allow the cap to air dry completely after use to restore its optimal performance.
Cap loses its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid tumble drying and excessive heat, and allow it to air dry naturally.
