Full details
This Rab Talus 5 Panel Cap in Green is designed for adult unisex users engaging in trail running and fast-paced mountain activities. Its key benefit is offering breathable, wind-resistant comfort that keeps you cool and dry, with the added advantage of being highly packable. A minor caveat is its unstructured design, which, while aiding packability, might not offer the same rigid structure as other caps. The cap features a breathable softshell fabric, laser-cut ventilation holes, a soft, foldable peak, and a discreet rear adjustment for a custom fit. It's engineered with Matrix™ single weave stretch fabric, making it ideal for dynamic, warm-weather adventures.

FAQs
Is this cap suitable for cold weather?
The Talus 5 Panel Cap is primarily designed for warm-weather, high-intensity activities due to its focus on breathability and ventilation. It offers some wind resistance but is not insulated for cold conditions.
How packable is the cap?
It is highly packable. The unstructured design and soft peak allow it to be folded and stashed into a pocket or running vest without losing its shape.
What is the main material of the cap?
The main fabric is a breathable and wind-resistant Matrix™ single weave stretch nylon (130gsm) with a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish.
Can I machine wash this cap?
It is recommended to hand wash the cap in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing is not advised as it may damage the fabric and its performance treatments.
What is the weight of the cap?
The cap weighs 37.5g (1.3oz), making it very lightweight for outdoor activities.
Does the cap have a stiff brim?
No, the brim is soft and unstructured to enhance packability. This means it offers less rigid support compared to caps with stiffer brims.
How do I adjust the fit of the cap?
The cap features a discreet rear clip adjustment that allows you to easily customize the fit for comfort and security.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the discreet rear clip to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the clip is properly engaged.
Reduced breathability or wicking performance
Hand wash the cap with a mild detergent to remove sweat and oils that may clog the fabric pores. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly.
Cap retains moisture after washing
Ensure the cap is air-dried completely. Avoid tumble drying, which can damage the fabric and hinder its quick-drying capabilities. Gentle squeezing of excess water before air drying can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rab Talus 5 Panel Cap requires no setup. Simply adjust the rear clip for a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the cap sits well on your head without being too tight or too loose.
Compatibility: This cap is designed as unisex headwear suitable for adult wearers. Its minimalist design makes it compatible with a wide range of outdoor apparel and gear, including running vests, backpacks, and technical clothing. It pairs well with other wind-resistant and breathable outdoor equipment.
Care: To maintain the cap's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's wicking properties.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water and air dry. Do not wring or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and its DWR treatment.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Its packable nature means it can be stored folded, but avoid prolonged creasing in one spot.
