FAQs

Is this cap machine washable?

While hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the material and DWR finish, you may machine wash it on a gentle, cool cycle inside a wash bag.

Does the Caelum Cap offer UV protection?

While the material is dense and provides a physical barrier, the cap is not specifically rated for UPF protection.

Can the adjustment system be replaced if it breaks?

The adjustment system is integrated into the cap design; please contact Montane support if you experience issues with the mechanism.

Is the material waterproof?

It is water-repellent due to a non-fluorocarbon finish, meaning it sheds light rain but is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

Does this cap come in different sizes?

The cap is unisex and features a rear adjustment system designed to fit most adult head sizes comfortably.

Troubleshooting

The peak is bent or misshapen after long-term storage.

The BOUNCE BACK peak is designed to recover; smooth out any wrinkles with your hands and wear it for a few minutes; your body heat will help the internal structure settle back into place.

The cap feels heavy or soaked with sweat.

Ensure you are not wearing the cap over hair products that might clog the COOLMAX fibers. Rinse with clean water to remove salt buildup from sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure fit, use the adjustment strap at the back of the cap to tighten or loosen it until it feels stable but comfortable. For long-term maintenance, hand wash the cap in cool water using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the wicking properties of the COOLMAX fabric and the water-repellent finish. Always air dry the cap away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical fibers. If the water-repellency significantly decreases after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe DWR re-proofer to restore its effectiveness.
