Product Information

Full details

The Trekmates Atacama Cap is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who require reliable sun protection in varying climates. Its primary advantage is the combination of high-level UPF 50+ sun protection and a modular design that transitions from a protective legionnaire-style hat to a standard baseball cap. While it excels in versatility and portability, users should note that the lightweight polyester fabric, while durable, is specifically engineered for warm-weather breathability rather than heavy-duty rain or wind insulation.

FAQs

Is the Trekmates Atacama Cap waterproof?

The cap is made from polyester designed for breathability and sun protection; it is not classified as waterproof.

How do I choose between the S/M and L/XL sizes?

The S/M size is tailored for smaller head circumferences, while the L/XL is designed for larger fits. Measure your head circumference to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I wear this cap in the water?

Yes, the materials are quick-drying, making it suitable for water-based activities like kayaking or beach hiking.

Does the stuff sack come with the cap?

Yes, a dedicated stuff sack is included with every purchase for compact storage.

How often should I wash the cap?

Wash it as needed, especially after heavy use in dusty or sweaty conditions, using a mild detergent.

Is the neck flap removable or just foldable?

The neck flap is attached via a zipper, allowing you to zip it away into the cap interior or remove it entirely depending on the model version.

Troubleshooting

The peak looks slightly deformed after storage

Lay the cap flat in a warm, dry area for a short period to allow the crease-resistant polyester to regain its original shape.

Neck flap zipper becomes stiff

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper teeth and gently wipe the zipper track with a dry cloth to remove debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Highly packable design fits in a pocket
  • Versatile transition from full coverage to standard cap
  • Moisture-wicking fabric for comfort in heat
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold or wind
  • Limited to adult sizing
  • Lacks waterproof membrane for heavy downpours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To configure the cap, simply zip or unzip the neck flap depending on your sun exposure needs. For storage, fold the peak along the pre-stitched lines and insert the cap into the provided stuff sack to protect the fabric and shape. For care, this cap is machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash it in a garment bag to protect the structure of the peak. Air drying is advised to preserve the integrity of the moisture-wicking brow band and the shape of the brim.
