Description
This custom Ahead wicking cap uses smooth AeroSphere fabric made for cooling and moisture wicking, so the crown stays comfortable through a long day outside. It is a structured, mid fit cap for teams and guests who spend their hours on the move, from early setup to the last session of the day.
For client gifts, choose a wicking cap with logo embroidered across the front panels in White, Sage or Ocean, so your contact has something they will wear outdoors and your name reads at a glance. At company events, hand caps out at registration and your staff and guests are covered by SPF 30+ UV protection from the first session. For conference swag bags, the adjustable hook and loop closure fits most heads, which spares you a size chart and a sorting job at the packing table. The mid fit crown suits an average size head. Think of it as a giveaway that is used rather than stored, and because the construction is PVC free there is one less thing to worry about.
Pair it with the rPET flex cap with moisture wicking sweatband when you want a second style for the same event, so staff and VIP guests can wear different caps from one order. Both sit well in Performance Hats. When you need a bulk wicking cap for a large group, the minimum order is 25, and an embroidered wicking cap is easy to match to your brand colors. Name a firm event date early to keep the order on track.
Share your in hands date and quantity, and the order is planned around on time delivery, with a free digital proof of the embroidery for you to approve first.
