FAQs
What makes the VÅGA Transit Lite Cap suitable for racing?
It's designed for speed and focus with its ultra-lightweight, secure, non-slip fit and breathable fabrics that manage moisture during high-output efforts.
Can I wash this cap in a washing machine?
No, the recommended care is low-temperature handwash only to preserve the material integrity and shape.
What are the two sizes available?
The cap is available in Small/Medium (50-55cm) and Medium/Large (55-60cm).
Is the peak rigid?
No, it features a soft-flex VÅGA short peak, designed to be pliable and comfortable.
What materials is the cap made from?
The main material is 90% polyester and 10% elastane, while the contrast material is 87% nylon and 13% elastane.
Is this cap suitable for casual wear?
While designed for performance, its lightweight comfort and packability also make it suitable for casual use, hiking, or light training.
How packable is the cap?
It is designed to be ultra-packable and ultra-lightweight, meaning it can be easily folded or rolled and stowed in a pocket or bag without taking up much space.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the non-slip fitting strap. If the cap is still not fitting correctly, consider if you have selected the appropriate size (S/M or M/L) based on your head circumference.
Peak obstructs vision.
Gently adjust the position of the cap on your head. The soft-flex peak is designed to be pliable; ensure it is not bent in a way that interferes with your sightline.
Fabric feels less breathable over time.
Ensure the cap is clean. Sweat and debris can clog fabric pores. Follow the low-temperature handwash care instructions.
Cap does not stay secure during activity.
Double-check that the non-slip adjustment strap is properly secured. Ensure the cap is the correct size for your head; a cap that is too small may struggle to stay in place regardless of adjustment.
