FAQs
What material is the VAGA Pacer Running Cap made from?
The cap is constructed from 100% nylon, featuring a water-resistant shell fabric.
How do I determine the correct size?
The cap comes in two sizes: Small/Medium (50-55cm) and Medium/Large (55-60cm). The drawcord also allows for a customized fit within these ranges.
Is this cap suitable for heavy rain?
The Pacer Cap is water-resistant, offering protection against light rain or moisture. It is not designed for heavy downpours.
Can I put this cap in the washing machine?
No, the cap should only be handwashed at low temperatures. Do not tumble dry.
How does the drawcord system work?
It is a fast-adjust elastic drawcord technology located at the back of the cap, allowing for a quick and secure fit adjustment.
What is the benefit of the padded headband?
The open-pore padded headband is designed to wick moisture and provide enhanced comfort during active use.
Can the peak be folded or bent?
The cap features a VAGA short peak with a soft E.V.A. core, allowing for flexibility and packability without permanent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too loose after adjustment.
Ensure the drawcord is fully tightened and the elastic strap is securely fastened. If the cap continues to slip, it may be too large for your head size, even with the drawcord.
Water resistance is reduced.
Over time, water-resistant coatings can degrade. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical apparel. Ensure the cap is clean before applying any treatment.
Headband is not wicking sweat effectively.
The headband may be saturated or dirty. Handwash the cap gently to clean the headband. For persistent issues, ensure the cap is not excessively worn.
Cap loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are strictly following the handwash and air-dry instructions. Never machine wash or tumble dry the cap, as this can deform the fabric and peak.
