What benefits can I expect from the R-SERIES Cap?

The R-Series Racing Cap is built for performance and protection, featuring Bluesign® certified fabric and a unisex design. With UPF 50 sun protection on the brim and UPF 30 on the top mesh panels, it’s designed to keep you cool with Polartec® Power Dry® breathable mesh.

The SWIFTdry™ headband absorbs sweat, while the dark underbill reduces glare, and a pliable brim adds comfort and packability. Finished with an adjustable closure for a secure fit, the R-Series Racing Cap is where sophistication meets function.

What is the difference between the M-SERIES, F-SERIES and R-SERIES caps?

The M-SERIES Cap is designed to be highly breathable and moisture-wicking, ideal for keeping you cool during intense activity. It also features UPF 50 sun protection on the brim and sides, along with a pliable brim for comfort and packability.

The F-SERIES Cap is built with a more fitted and sleek aesthetic. It features a shorter 5cm peak and a reworked curved panel structure that improves breathability and performance. With a 56.5cm circumference, the F-Series offers a more snug, tailored fit for those who prefer a closer, more athletic look.

The R-SERIES Cap is engineered for a more streamlined, aerodynamic fit, ideal for racing and high-performance use. It uses a lighter, more structured design to reduce drag, combined with moisture-wicking fabrics and sun protection. 

Can I wash my R-SERIES Cap?

Whilst the R-SERIES Cap is designed to keep you cool and dry, it is a given that you may want to wash the cap from time to time. That's why Fractel have ensured their R-SERIES Racing Cap can be machine washed on a cold cycle. Use of a washable bag is recommended where possible.
