Patagonia Duckbill Cap

The Patagonia Duckbill Cap in Shore Blue is a technical headwear choice featuring a recycled polyester mesh crown designed to dissipate heat and maximise airflow during intense activity. This ultra-breathable cap includes a unique packable foam brim that can be folded into a pocket and will spring back to its original shape instantly. It acts as a lightweight, cooling shield for runners and hikers, ensuring you stay protected from the sun without the weight or bulk of a traditional hat.
