Cotopaxi Tech 5-Panel Hat

The Cotopaxi Tech 5-Panel Hat in Steel Blue is a highly functional headwear solution designed to manage moisture and provide shade during high output activities. Built for those who need a reliable cap that won't feel heavy or saturated during a climb or a long run, this hat solves the problem of overheating with its breathable, lightweight construction. The soft, foldable brim makes it incredibly easy to pack into a pocket or bag without losing its shape, ensuring you always have sun protection ready when the clouds clear.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This hat features a shallow, low profile fit typical of technical 5-panel caps.
• The adjustable rear strap ensures a one size fits most range, accommodating various head shapes securely.
• Here at the store we recommend checking the strap tension once on, as the technical fabric has a slight stretch for added comfort.
• The soft brim helps eliminate pressure points on the forehead, making it suitable for all day use.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent to preserve the technical coatings.
• Avoid using fabric softeners as these can clog the breathable pores of the fabric.
• Reshape the brim while damp and air dry in the shade to prevent sun fading.
• Do not tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibres and adjusters.
