Arc'teryx Gamma 5 Panel Cap

Crafted from a lightweight stretch softshell fabric, the Arc'teryx Gamma 5 Panel Cap in Black/Arctic Silk delivers dependable wind resistance, breathability, and light moisture protection for fast-paced trail days and warm-weather commutes. Built with Wee Burly double weave technology, this versatile five-panel piece shields against variable conditions without trapping heat or weighing you down on the move. 

Key Features

• Lightweight Wee Burly double weave softshell construction delivers four-way stretch and airflow
• DWR finish helps shed light rain and trail spray
• Low-profile spacer mesh sweatband wicks moisture and dries rapidly
• Adjustable webbing back strap with a quick-release buckle for a secure fit
• Subtle laminated brim retains its shape without adding excess bulk
• Discreet Arc'teryx bird logo print on the front panel

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Fast-and-light mountain hiking, fell running, and scrambles where breathability and wind blocking are essential
• Everyday city commutes during changeable spring and summer weather
• Travel and packing down flat into daypacks or jacket pockets without creasing the brim
• High-output activities that demand immediate moisture management and ventilation

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• A tip from our fitting experience: the low-profile crown and flexible rear strap accommodate a wide range of head shapes comfortably.
• The webbing slider at the rear allows micro-adjustments, ensuring the cap stays planted during blustery ridgeline walks or active trail runs.
• Unstructured panels flex to sit cleanly against your brow without hot spots or pinch points.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Surface clean with a damp sponge and cold water to remove trail dust or sweat salt.
• If a thorough wash is required, hand wash in lukewarm water using mild detergent.
• Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and machine spin cycles to protect the technical membrane and internal sweatband.
• Reshape the brim and air dry flat in the shade away from direct heat sources.

Arc'teryx Gamma 5 Panel Cap - Our FAQs

1. Is the Arc'teryx Gamma 5 Panel Cap waterproof? It is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. The durable water repellent treatment repels light showers and mist, while the softshell fabric prioritises breathability during high exertion.
2. How do I adjust the size? An adjustable webbing strap with an ergonomic buckle sits at the rear, allowing you to cinch or loosen the fit with one hand.
3. Does this cap pack down well for travel? Yes. Because the crown is unpadded and the brim is lightweight and flexible, it packs flat into a jacket pocket, duffle, or hip pack without losing its shape.
4. How does the Gamma fabric manage perspiration? An integrated spacer mesh band sits directly against your forehead to absorb sweat, while the air-permeable Wee Burly softshell allows warmth and humidity to vent quickly.
5. Can I wear this cap in cold weather? While designed primarily for mild-to-warm conditions and intense output, it provides useful wind protection on crisp, dry days when paired with an insulated hood.
