My cap isn’t anti-UV?
Rest assured that the fabric used to make this cap blocks UV rays with a UPF higher than 50 (excellent protection). This obviously isn't the case for the perforated side panels, therefore we can’t claim that the cap is anti-UV overall.
How is polyamide more resistant?
Polyamide offers excellent abrasion and tear resistance. Furthermore, this synthetic fibre is not susceptible to microorganisms or mould.
How do you measure a fabric's quick drying capacity?
The product is machine washed 3 times then line dried, then we immerse it in water and measure how long it takes to get back to its pre-wash weight.
This cap scored an impressive 5 out of 5 stars, returning to its pre-washed weight less than 80 minutes!
