Who did we design it for?

For anyone who spends time outdoors, from trail to hiking, and wants more sun coverage than a cap provides.

How breathable is it?

What makes it different?

An all-round brim, a weight of 65g and French Montagnard lettering on the front: a practical accessory that makes a statement and stays close at hand.

Used on 2 ultras UTTN Nancy 115 and the Infernal Trail des Vosges 200, plus various races. Light, comfortable with an adjustable elastic strap, nothing to complain about. I love Cimalp, even though the brand is a bit pricey, it lives up to my expectations. I'll be back!
