In short
Good for
- Wet and windy days on the hill: GORE-TEX insert, 7 cm peak keeps rain off the face (Trekmates)
- Wearing under a hood: low-profile cap with an elasticated rear
- Showery summer walking and camping when a full hood is too hot
Strengths
- GORE-TEX insert: Trekmates lists the cap as waterproof, windproof and breathable
- 7 cm triple-fold peak (Trekmates)
- Wicking mesh lining and brushed headband
- Elasticated rear for fit; S/M and L/XL sizes
- 60 g (Trekmates)
Weaknesses
- Covers the crown only: no ear or neck cover, so it is a rain cap rather than a warm hat
- Trekmates gives no hydrostatic head or seam statement for the cap
- One weight is listed for both sizes, so the L/XL probably weighs more
- No independent wear test of this cap was found
