Patagonia Duckbill Cap Shore Blue

The Patagonia Duckbill Cap in Shore Blue provides a technical and high performing solution for those seeking a lightweight, highly breathable headwear option for intense physical activity. This garment addresses the need for efficient temperature regulation during high output movement by utilising a recycled polyester mesh crown that effectively dissipates heat and increases airflow. Featuring a unique packable foam brim that rebounds to its original shape, it functions as a dependable shield against the sun while remaining small enough to be stowed in a pocket when not in use.
